The Ties That Bind Us All

Kindergarten students in Falls Church worked with me for two days decorating paper, making collage, visualizing their Grandma's and Grandpops and learning how pictures truly tell a story. I read to them from a variety of picture books.

The Write Thing

I'm back at Takoma Park Education Center teaching a series of writing workshops to 6th, 7th and 8th graders. I've been deep in the library looking for great examples of descriptive writing.

I Am Not Afraid

 

Young court involved teens illustrated a poem by Maya Angelou during my art residency at a detention center in Maryland entitled "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" from The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou.

I Love Books

This summer I read as many young adult novels that I could get my hands on (pictured above) as well as poetry books that I could share in my writing and art workshops.
