Teaching Artist Legacy Statement
I can teach you to see what I see - can you teach me to see how you see? I believe the arts have the power to shift your perspective by challenging your perceptions. My workshops invite students to delight in discovery, whether using visual arts to unpack science, poetry to examine and illuminate personal emotions and beliefs, or story, to clarify or reframe a student's own narrative. I am an Author/Illustrator, a community artist, a healing artist, and an environmental activist, with a passion for sharing how the arts give students ways to express themselves and discover their world.
