Last week I visited E.H. Greene Intermediate School to see our recently installed 6 x 16-foot mural, “Vivid Village,” that over 900 students worked on with me this past school year. I would like to thank Art Educators, Amy Jo Combs and Jaclyn Becker, for inviting me back to your classroom for my fourth artist residency at E.H. Greene. Thank you, Montgomery Women’s Club, for supporting this project, and thank you to all the students who participated in making this Vivid Village come to life.

It was an honor to return to E.H. Greene Intermediate School as their artist in residence. In the course of one week and 20 classes, had the pleasure of engaging with 5th and 6th graders from art instructors Amy Glazer and Katy Hall’s studios about my work and journey as an artist. In addition to the students learning about my influences and the artists that interest me, we worked on two 4 x 4 foot canvases that were inspired by my latest work. Thank you Principal Philip Hackett and Sycamore school district for inviting back and Most importantly I would like to thank all 800 students that I met, who showed interest in the work I do and made these paintings come to life.
