The supreme art of the teacher is to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. ~Albert Einstein
Available for Creative Art Instruction

As a kid-enthusiast I love working with children of all ages. There are 3 main ways I can engage with your group, either through Art Workshops, Artist-In-Residencies, or Public Speaking.
ART WORKSHOPS
Drawing and painting are my two biggest areas of interest but I am always open to specialized projects. I am currently entertaining the creation of workshops that address "emotional healing."
ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE
I thoroughly enjoy working with a varied range of students combing art, science, and culture. I look forward to integrating my skills with your school's curriculum to create an inspiring and meaningful experience for students and teachers. Past lesson plans have focused on:
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
Sharing my story, whether with youth or adults, is always a pleasure. My presentations are generally combine a mixture of science, humor, art, and more humor. Did I mention humor? Some possible speaking topics include:
The Three Bones of Creativity,
Confronting Loss Through Creativity,
Why Kindness Matters, or
All About The BOOK.
