I've led hundreds of workshops for children and youth, specific to art mediums and tied to project or inquiry-based learning that explore identity and self, and link with the curriculum. Students love being ‘creative explorers;’ free from right or wrong, harnessing their imaginations and authoring their own projects – and I love watching students and teachers artful confidence and creative thinking bloom through the power of the creative process.

I also share these experiences via Professional Development workshops for educators presenting on the topics of Arts Integration and cultivating creativity.
