May I copy your “about” as a part of the slide show I am creating for my 5/6 gr. students. I intend to use a couple of your pdf’s from your site as creative inspiration. I’m glad I came across your work on twitter.
Hey Jennifer! Yes, sure! That is where I keep — and continue to update — my official bio. You can use it as you wish! Thank you so much for sharing my work with your students!
Hi, like Jennifer Meeuwsen above, I too am going to do a Google Slide for my 5th graders about you and your work (and talent) in my Career in Arts lesson. I came across your work via Pintrest. I know my students will enjoy your activities! THANK YOU!
I just stumbled upon your website and think this is absolutely fabulous! I’m a school counselor who loves art. Thank you for the free downloads. I love encouraging my elementary students to be creative and imaginative!
Hi Jarrett! I just discovered you, your website and books. What an incredible inspiration you are to children, parents, and educators as well! It is so heartwarming to see how much time you put into your website, and how truly giving you are to include all of the free downloads. My son is starting a comic book club at his middle school, and I am going to help run it. I had no idea what to do for our first meeting, but your website has inspired me. Thank you so much for your generosity and for sharing your talents with the world! Keep on drawing on!
