I am so amazed that I had a chance to work and train with Jane Nelsen. We have been working together for a few months and this was our first time to meet.

I look forward to working with her on all the projects we came up with together.

Relationships in Homes and Schools

Jane saw some drawings I did in a class I took on the topic at my daughter's school. She was very excited about my work and asked me to create some original images for a brochure.

We are also collaborating on two children's book, online courses, website images and more.
I will keep you posted as they go to press.

Here are just a couple of the drawings I created for her.

Talking about Visual Learning

Just spent part of my morning with a group of middle schoolers talking about what it means to be a visual learner. I had a blast talking about graphic facilitation, journaling and quilting and how I use all of them to express myself. 




They were awesome and had a chance to draw too!!


I took with me a "Magic Mary Poppins" bag of stuff.
