I'm here to help! I have been both a teacher and a teaching artist

 for over twenty years and in just about every kind of situation possible:

 

  Schools           Museums           Community Centers

 

  Libraries            Private Homes          Book Stores           Street Festivals

 

       and even Under Trees (in Zimbabwe!)

​

                                                                         

                                                                          I hold an MFA in Writing and an MAT in Teaching Art.

                                                                          While my teaching focus has been primarily in visual art

                                                                          and writing, I have also taught theater arts (including

                                                                          puppetry) and have co-taught with dancers and musicians.

​

                                                                                          I can offer you guidance in many ways, suited to your individual

                                                                                          needs and the particulars of each residency:

                                                                                   

                                                                                                *   Curriculum development and integration

                                                                                                *   Organizational skills

                                                                                                *   How to grab a class and hold them

                                                                                                *   An experienced, non-judgemental ear to bounce ideas off of

                                                                                                *   Classroom management

                                                                                                *   Working harmoniously with classroom teachers

                                                                                                *   Staying within your materials budget

                                        

                          and so much more . . . as a teaching artist, you never know what might suddenly transpire,

                          from the truly miraculous & inspirational to that ever-so-challenging day.
