Inspired by - an exhibition from Art Lab for Kids

This Saturday, March 3rd from 5-8 p.m. at artstream, we will open our next exhibition: "Inspired By"
This exhibit will feature the contributing artists from my new book Art Lab for Kids - and the work they inspired by student artists. It's a milestone in my life to have created this book, filled with lessons that I have taught over the past 18 years. 
It's exciting and fulfilling to see the pages of my students photographed by my husband Rainer. His talents know no bounds! I hope that you will be able to stop by on Saturday for a view of the exhibit. I will promise to have a few photographers on hand too for some special "photo ops" of the opening, to post some of the festivities in full swing, for those of you far away ... 

I thought I would leave you with two examples straight from the pages:

My husband Rainer created beautiful photographs for my book.

For those of you who already own the book, thank you for your support! Thank you too, for the great feedback! Wishing you all a wonderfully creative day...
