About Me
I started Artshop to give children and adults of all abilities the opportunity to participate in the creative process. The creative process requires many skills that can cross over into other areas of life. I am an artist and have a BA in Art Studio and Art Education. I have extensive experience working with children and adults with disabilities. Along with creating ArtShop, I have worked as the Creative Arts Coordinator at Courage Center. I am currently the director of the Rise Art Speaks program. (rise.org)
