Testimonials:
Thank you!!! You had our students hooked right from the get go! Your art inspired them to create their very own little masterpiece collages! The lesson was engaging and relative to their real life experiences. We can’t wait to have you back! Thank you!!!
Sandra, The experience you provided for our students was truly awesome. Our students were excited and engaged when they listened to you speak about your art and your art making process. The way you connected your own artwork and passion for art making to the collage activity was inspirational.
