February 1 2022. 

I am honored to receive an Arts Learning Residency Grant from the Nevada Arts Council. With the help of this grant, I am offering workshops to children aged 6 to 9 years old from the High Desert Montessori School in Reno, NV, on 'The Art of Portraiture'. 

I teach the children about ancient artforms including cave paintings, petroglyphs and monumental sculpture. Children discover their own creative potential working with charcoal, earth, clay and paint. The workshop culminates with a visit to my exhibit of painted portraits at the Carson City Courthouse and to the gallery of portraits of Nevada Governors and the historical museum at the Nevada State Capitol.
