HCS art teacher Mona Cunnikin shares her talent for charity
Mona Cunnikin, art teacher at Bassette Elementary School, recently shared her talent and love of art by donating her time at the Community Garden Association Gala at the Topsail Restaurant in Hampton. She conducted a live painting at the event and her painting was then donated for the auction.
Cunnikin’s artwork was also displayed at the Artists Alliance of East Hampton’s Autumn Blaze art show on October 1 through 3, 2021.
“It was my first time ever doing a painting live in front of a crowd,” said Cunnikin. “Thank goodness I had my headphones and music. It took the nerves right away.”
