Adult Classes
 summer & Fall 2026

My classes are customized based on my students. All levels of botanical and artistic knowledge are welcome! We'll be observing plants, and learning vocabulary to describe what we see and experience. The art that you create is a form of connection with plants, animals, landscape, and yourself.
Click on any class for more details and registration information. Hope to see you there!

Junior Naturalist Program
Lussier Family Heritage Center
Madison, WI

Join me as I partner again with Dane County Parks as a guest instructor for their Junior Naturalist Camp at the Lussier Family Heritage Center! In July 2025 I'll work with the Painted Turtles for the "Artistry Adventures" program.

 

We'll play games to hone observation skills and stoke our curiosity, draw plants in detail to get comfortable with color and shape, and finally paint a section of the LFHC outdoor mural!
