Meet Our Summer Camp Instructor
Stuart Mahoney
With over two decades of experience as a Senior Studio Arts Educator at the San José Museum of Art, Stuart has taught fine art techniques including painting, sculpting, and stop-motion animation to children and adults throughout San José Unified School District and Santa Clara County, contributing to curriculum that won the 2017 Superintendent’s Award for Excellence in Museum Education.
A multifaceted artist with a BFA from San José State University, Stuart brings expertise in illustration, painting, ceramics, and performance arts, having worked as an award-winning voice actor and performed with numerous Bay Area bands at prestigious venues and festivals. Fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, Stuart’s diverse background as an artist, gardener, chef, actor, and singer enriches his teaching approach, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him share his passion and creativity with our campers this summer.
We are thrilled to welcome Mister Stuart as a summer camp instructor at Montalvo!
