Bio
My name is Umberto Spezzacatena; however, your K-6 child may refer to me as Mr. S. Although, this is my second year at Mckinley School, I've been teaching in this district since 2016. Also, I've been teaching privately since 2013. Currently, I hold adult classes at la Federaccion Mercantil in Union City.
My high school teacher always enforced the importance of the relationship between an artist and their compatriots. Also this world is a competition of which art gets seen by their clarity and presentation of ideas. I am grateful for my mentor Jesus Rivera, who is a famous artist, and ran the longest running art workshop from 1994-2013; which I ran until covid forced me to close. Rivera contemporaneously owned a gallery, the renown QbaVa, the largest gallery of renown Cuban artwork in the northeast. I look forward to pass on the knowledge I have gained so far to your children; as well, learn from them.
