I was fortunate enough to have been invited to speak to the fifth and sixth graders of Lancaster Intermediate School in January about my work, my business, and my techniques.

Over the course of two days, I had the pleasure of talking with twelve bustling classes of kids about the fundamentals of abstract art and small business.  Afterwards, we got messy with some hands-on demonstrations of my techniques, emphasizing the importance of how math and science are intrinsically tied to creating art. 

By the end of each day I was spent!  These kids kept me on my toes every minute of it.  If you know any teachers, be sure to show your appreciation often because I've determined they must have some kind of super-human stamina and iron-clad will to help their students learn and grow.  Thank you to Mrs. Caldwell for inviting me to be a part of that!
