Organization Description
| Mission statement | I am a multi-disciplinary artist, with many years of experience in visual art, music, writing, theater and dance. I sing professionally with the critically acclaimed folk-pop trio Uncle Bonsai; The Blue Janes, a singing uke trio; fasten with pins; and others. I have worked as a K-5 Writers Workshop coach for over a decade, receiving training from Columbia University’s Teacher’s College instructors at TC and in Seattle at summer institutes, and participated in a year of continued study with these instructors alongside Seattle Public Schools’ literacy coaches. As a writing coach, I have helped launch and maintain writers workshops in collaboration with teachers in several South Seattle public elementary schools. I have taught nonfiction (oral histories, which we turned into essays; personal narrative; How-to’s), fiction (realistic); poetry, and poetry with drawing; and, launching and conferring one-to-one. I have served as an artist-in-residence in singing and songwriting. During the 2014-15 school year, I integrated singing and recycled-instrument making for a kindergarten recycling unit at Beacon Hill Elementary. I have also taught students how to conduct an oral history interview and turn that interview into a biographical essay as part of a social studies unit. I show my visual art in cafes around Seattle, and teach visual art in after-school programs and for the Seattle Children’s PlayGarden for children of all abilities. I’ve specialized in K-5 grades mostly (though at the PlayGarden children of all ages participate), but also teach an adult writing workshop, so could adapt to upper grades. |
