February - April 2024:

As a teaching artist on the Nevada Arts Council roster, I benefitted of an Arts Learning Project Grant  to teach my ecological art lessons these past months at the High Desert Montessori Charter School.

What a treat to offer these lessons to the children, so enthusiastic to be creative outside working with nature. And I have noted how thirsty they are for more. 

I am committed to finding more funding opportunities in order to offer more free lessons.

In the last class, in tune with the seasons and now embracing Spring, we weaved plants onto cardboard to make natural tableaux vivants. 

In February and March, always working with the natural elements, the children created ephemeral art with materials gathered in the playground, including snow and ice.
