artists - a page from my UF sketchbook "Reflections: What Do You See?"
First and foremost, I am an artist. I create personal and commissioned art using multiple mediums. As a teaching artist/art educator I share ideas and different ways of making art with learners of all ages. In addition to photos documented on my website, I share a selection of my art-and-work as blog posts with photos of processes, supplies, and my perspective as to why art matters. My work as artist and educator intersect in the world of advocacy: I dedicate work and time to support not-for-profit initiatives in art, education, health and community.

A great day of learning by way of
Sampson Arts Council's Artists in Schools Program
Thank You! for asking me to participate, for welcoming me in the art classroom, for allowing me to share what I do.
I loved seeing the students trying and exploring with ink brush painting supplies
- something different and new to them -
the photos say it all.

On Monday, April 27, 2026 we celebrated Lunar New Year of the Horse at Sampson Middle School with hands-on Chinese ink brush painting... culture, history, traditions, art, explorations... we had FUN!
FUN fact no. 1 - we are artists! everyone in Ms. Lemon's art classroom
FUN fact no. 2 - down to basics... ink + brush + paper ...give-it-a GO FUN fact no. 3 - clean-up was messy [ART tip: use a slush bucket] FUN fact no. 4 - in recognition of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month ...yep, I kicked it up a notch! Happy May, everyone and Happy 2026, Lunar Year of the Horse!
