Art with Meta       

 

From a background in English literature, I shifted careers to focus on my lifelong interest in the visual arts. Teaching was always an important piece of my vocation, but now I am privileged to teach ages at which art and the world itself are new and magical. My approach focuses on materials, studio skills and construction methods, and student interests. We take inspiration from contemporary as well as historical artists.

 

My own artwork with discarded objects parallels the learning process of early childhood. Children are natural treasure hunters who love to collect, curate, and study all the amazing stuff in their environment. As artists working together, we learn tools and techniques for making connections, expressing our ideas, and “thinking with our hands.”
