It is a great pleasure to speak with young readers and writers about books and the creative process of making them.

I am an experienced speaker and have a background in conducting art workshops and teaching English as a second language. I hold a current Working with Children check.

Presentations can be tailored to all primary levels and include a peek into how a writer/artist makes a picture book, including sketchbook drawings, original artwork and a live drawing demonstration, discussion of where ideas come from and how to use imagination and detail to make an interesting story. 

If you are interested in an engaging presentation for your classroom that is focused on creativity and a growth mindset please feel free to contact me.
