Books & Cookies -- Speaking about my illustrations on March 9th.

We read through Talking is Hard for Me and then I took the kids and made little books -- while Linda spoke with the adults about strategies to work with children with speech difficulties.  It was a great turn-out.  Lots of fun.

We got published!!

My aunt Linda and I have been in conversation about this book for a few years now.  She is a Speech Pathologist and wanted to write a book to help families and friends of kids that have difficulty learning to talk.

So the book reads like a children's story --- but offers tid-bits and guidance to parents, family members and educators.

I just finished my portion this past week -- and here are a sneak peek at some illustrations.  The book will hopefully be available this fall.  Linda and I will be presenters at a March 9th Book Event [more details to come] --- but here is a sneak peek:

Speaking Opportunity at the U of MN & WALKER ART CENTER!

To say I am excited.... would be a terrible understatement.  :)

I was nominated, then went through an interview process --- and am please to say that I will be the 'Painting Practitioner' for the Art School Lecture Series on 'Painter Painter' --- the Walker's new painting show.  The Art School Series is co-hosted by the Walker Art Center and the University of Minnesota, which is meant to help inform members and the public -- looking to get a more thorough understanding of the medium and where its at today. 

I will be speaking about my painting practice -- along with Lauren DeLand, an art historian from the U of MN.

I attended the opening panel discussion in early February and the tour guide training sessions as well.  It is a great show.  And I am honored to be even a small part of it. Exciting!!  Cheers. --E
