I spent two days sharing my artwork with kids in two Los Gatos Elementary school, it was super fun and filled with questions.

Students in the Los Gatos Union School District elementary schools learn about artists and artistic processes visiting local Bay Area guest artists. They present their works at Blossom Hill, Daves Avenue, Lexington, and Louise Van Meter elementary schools thanks to the Art Docents of Los Gatos, which receives much of its funding through the Los Gatos Education Foundation (LGEF.)Check out the article about my presentation…

If you can’t read Swedish like me, Google translate tells me that the article title says, “Abstract Flower Arrangements Will Spread Joy”. The local newspaper, the Mariestads Tidningen, sent reporters out to meet me a few times during the installation process. The photo on the right is in the workshop space I was loaned to assemble the sculptures and I was captured mid sentence explaining the piece to the reporter.
