NEWS & UPDATES  

"Our Collective Responsibility in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion" was the title of my keynote/interactive dialogue at the 2018 summer Leadership Conference of the National Art Education Association.  It was such an honor to teach and learn with these NAEA leaders! Looking forward to NAEA's national conference March 14-16, 2019 in Boston. See NAEA web site.
