Connection to place grounds my teaching practice and creates meaning in my artwork. The community within and around Portland, Maine is my home!
Upcoming:
South Portland Fourth Graders and The Telling Room
I am thrilled to collaborate with The Telling Room, a Portland-based writing and storytelling non-profit organization, for a 13-week long Identity Project offered to all 4th graders in the South Portland School District. Along with a close colleague, I am designing the visual art component to this project, which is expected to roll out mid-May 2021. Stay tuned for the digital archive . . . !

Past:
Portland Museum of Art
I love celebrating local inspiration. I designed an experiential art lesson inspired by the PMA’s Permanent Collection. Alongside the Learning and Teaching Specialist at the PMA, I developed a lesson for older students to make a piece of artwork inspired by the temporary show, Untitled, 2020: Art From Maine in a ____ Time. Anyone can experience a virtual visit of the exhibition at the PMA right now by clicking here.

I was featured in the local paper! Click here to read about my journey to becoming an art teacher.
February Vacation Virtual Art Camp
I had the opportunity to get creative with a group of artists ages 10+ over their winter vacation week. We made Kandinsky-inspired quilts, hot glue stamps, Zentangle mandalas, and more! This was organized with the help of the Continuing Studies department at the Maine College of Art.
