TESTIMONIALS
"I wanted to share with you how delightful and inspiring I found your presentation. Your work will be a reminder to our children to not only look, but OBSERVE their world — they have the wonder and beauty of life captured in your art. As one first-grader said, 'The butterfly man was awesome! I think he has special eyes to see bugs and stuff.'
"Thank you for sharing your 'special eyes' on the world with the Center School community. I believe that the magic of your art will draw children to the printed word — truly a gift to a reading teacher, too!"

"...We still have a multitude of milkweed bugs! I used your techniques for observing and drawing with third grade the past weeks as they drew pictures of prehistoric animals. They remember!"

"Having just gone through the process of researching and writing reports on commonly found local animals, we were struck by how similar a process you go through when doing your work, but with visual images rather than with words. We gathered information from a variety of sources and built sentences with that data — and you gather information and build pictures with it."

"You have a wonderful way of 'fitting in' with a school family; we all felt you were part of OUR team with common goals, commitments, and sincere concerns for the students. Thank you for your efforts to meet our needs and for being such a good sport about all our activities we planned around your residency with us."

"By all accounts the 2003 Mazza Summer Institute was a huge success... in no small measure to your enthusiastic willingness to be a highlight of our institute. Our participants loved your talk and the generous time and warmth you gave them during the small group sessions and autographing. You made everyone feel special!"

"I'm really impressed with how much drawing the critters makes me really see the details of insects."
