My name is Virginia Maloof Cascarilla. My mission is to mentor people into translating their life experiences into visual poetry.
As a Professional Artist and as a life long volunteer in the arts I initiated and installed The Art Lady Program for Elementary Students at both Saint Marks in Cleveland, Ohio. I developed a Natural History program and started the St.Luke’s ( Lakewood, Ohio)school Newspaper. All my adult life I’ve volunteered with the homeless, disabled adults and disabled children. I design the Offical Holiday Cards for Project ALS and created ‘Noras Collectible Greeting Cards’ based on my paintings. 25% of profits from these cards go to Project ALS. I taught as an adjunct professor at Cuyahoga Community College and The Cleveland Institute of Art. I was a teaching assistant at Michigan State University and have taught workshops in Florida and Michigan. In addition to creating Artist in Bloom Ministry. I volunteer with Refuges, teaching them to read, and prepare to become citizens of the United States at City of Hope in Cleveland, Ohio. While there I’m helping a refugee from the Sudan to write a book about her experiences when her entire village was massacred. She is illustrating this book as well. Very profound.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”virginia-quote”]

Artists in Bloom Ministry works toward embracing art and community as Sacrament. Each painting becomes evidence of redemption and transformation.
Life is a series of moments, good, bad and in-between, all strung together and constantly redefining who we are. We help those who are in search of meaning.
