I am a teacher and artist, working with the hope that art can help us re-imagine, enchant, and change the world.  I have done this work since 1999 at School of the Poetic City, The Odyssey School, and Metropolitan State University of Denver.

My research includes:

• contemporary art education with children
• arts integration
• social justice art practices with children
• the democratic classroom
• constructivist pedagogy
• painting and painting theory
• Reggio Emilia documentation
• Expeditionary Learning art curriculum
• arts assessment
• Denver Public School WPA murals
