Teaching Artist Legacy Statement
I am first and foremost an educator. My programs are based on one simple principle: KIDS LEARN by DOING, so in my interactive adventures it is the KIDS that are the stars of the show. And not just a FEW kids - Everyone has a role to play in which they feel successful and empowered. And have FUN. After many school arts enrichment programs, kids tell their parents, "Today I met a great artist." After my programs, kids say, "Today I WAS a great artist."
