Speaking Engagements

I love visiting groups of people of all abilities that are creating and thinking creatively.

I enjoy talking about the artistic process, my creative journey, and especially encouraging others to fearlessly forge ahead with their own creative path.

I am happy to custom design a presentation or workshop with you to fit the group, or invent what I think will engage and inspire your audience.

Most recently, I have been giving presentations called "From Paintings to Fabric", in which I explain the process of what is involved in creating a mass produced 28 piece fabric collection from handmade paintings. In this presentation, I bring my initial sketches, original paintings, inspiration board for my newest collection, Painted Summer, as well as “strike-offs” from the mill. In addition, I bring other goodies such as signed and dated fine art prints of my paintings to purchase. 

So, keep me in mind for your next meeting, class or get-together - I’d love to join you!
