Silvia Morales

2008 Literary Arts Fellowship and Residency

Silvia Morales grew up in the Bronx, the daughter of an artist who taught her to love the arts. She has long been a supporter and defender of arts programs in New York City public schools, having spent over ten years teaching high school English and Spanish. Teaching allowed her to encourage an appreciation of art and literature in countless students, an appreciation which she has also passed on to her two daughters. She currently teaches composition as an instructor in the City University of New York.
