I am a traveling artist. I don't come to teach art as much as do it. Residencies last one day or many. I bring energy and activity and a playful spirit. I stress art as a verb, a process, and creativity as a skill that requires practice. Here are some of the results including wooden constructions, sapling sculptures, puzzle murals, and just plain making.
Curved wall mural, Colebrook Elementary School, Colebrook, NH
Some projects require small groups rather than whole classes.
5th Grade Mural Epping NH
Three dimensional collage
One panel of the Many Hands project. Tobey School, Concord, NH
Residencies often have themes or stories that accompany and give relevance to the project.
We make use of ordinary materials and make extraordinary objects of real importance and intent.
