After receiving my BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, I got my foot in the door of graphic design and gained valuable work experience with several newspapers and graphic design firms in California. Starting a family brought the desire to work from home, which I did until my son started school. There I found the school had no art teacher, so I began to volunteer. This led to a PTA parent-funded position and later an after school program as well. Teaching led to blogging, which has opened up a world of possibilities, including fulfilling my dream of one day writing an art book. “Sharpie Art Workshop for Kids” is my first. It features more than 30 arts and craft project specifically designed to do what the markers do best. Here’s the link:
