In my residencies I have worked in public schools from elementary to high school and in the community—as a resident artist for an adult creative writing group that published a book of original writing and illustrations.  In my work with school students I encourage writing, oral, musical, and visual art skills—culminating in a performance of the students’ original writing, dance, music, visual art (recorded as book or DVD if time and budget allows). As a historical novelist I also teach students the importance of oral histories, personal diaries and witnessing as expressions and outlets for creativity and culture.

Interested in working with one of our artists or planning a residency?
