Presentations:

​

I am available for school, library, church, and homeschool visits. Currently, I am only conducting classroom sized presentations. My sessions are up to 50min in length and include elements of the following:

​

- A Read-Through of one of my Picture Book 'Dummies', allowing the kids to see a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the process of book making.

​

- Drawing Exercises where students can copy one of my characters or vehicles, or I help them design their own. 

​

- Collaboration. We work together to come up with a story setting or character design, exploring the beginning stages of worldbuilding.

​

- Sharing. I show a range of artwork and ideas I've produced over my lifetime, from early drawings all the way to current sketchbooks. I also talk about what goes into my workday as an author/illustrator. This gives the children an idea of the journey to becoming a professional creative.

​

- Q+A. One of the best parts of any visit is to hear from the kids. Fielding questions and comments is not only a great way to answer their ponderings, but it allows me a chance to connect with each child more directly.
