We’ll pick some of the most fascinating children’s art literature to ignite our expressive powers! Inspired by artists and their lives, students will create their own art, focusing on color, shapes and lines while using a variety of materials & mediums.

  • For the mid-class break, please bring a drink & snack and a beach towel marked with your child's name to sit on. Students enrolled all day must also bring a bagged lunch from home.

As an undergraduate of Simmons College, Boston, and a graduate student of Boston College and beyond, I have directed much of my attention to advancing creative curriculum and methods of instruction in schools. It was an honor to be invited to some of the more than fifty-one countries involved in advancing a philosophy for children's programs to speak about and train teachers in this special method . Preceding my scholarly endeavors I enjoyed designing and manufacturing handbags and accessories, curating art exhibitions, and writing editing and translating foreign language artist’s text for publication. I also studied sculpture at the Museum of Fine Arts School, Boston and watercolor privately with an inspiring teacher, Alexi Neyman. In 2017 I moved to Naples, Florida and re-focused my attention once again to my true passion, creating art. I began doing outreach for NAI and have enjoyed engaging students of all ages and abilities to express joy through creating art. I remain privileged to share this truly rewarding experience.
