Artist Residency Projects: a collaboration with an artist to use their art form(s), expertise, and professional materials to support the goals and missions of schools, community organizations, and healthcare settings. Each is unique and created to meet the needs of the host site, audience, and artist.
Most of my past artist residencies have been in partnership with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state arts agency, with regional partner Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media. I also love to partner directly with schools, organizations, healthcare facilities, museums, and businesses to provide supportive creative and educational programming for students, clients, volunteers, staff, Board of Directors, and more.
POWER Artist Residency Project
We are currently in our 6th year of the art program at POWER House, a residential facility for women in recovery. It's been such a symbiotic learning experience between POWER residents, myself, POWER Staff, and our community. Our goals to use art to help heal, gain skills & work towards both fulfilling art process AND art products, and always having some element of giving back to our community through our art-making have been achieved again and again. Thanks to every one who supports, volunteers, and shares our success!
Creative experiences can happen anywhere.
Creativity with a healthy dose of curiosity and commitment can make positive differences whether in schools, community organizations, human social service agencies, healthcare settings, or businesses. .

I have been doing this for 20 years, but I thought I would just go back for some of that time :)
