Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is committed to conserving natural resources. We believe that one of the key components to conservation is working with youth, the next generation of land and wildlife stewards. The Refuge’s environmental education program seeks to engage youth through hands-on interpretation and education experiences.
For two enriching weeks, I had the privilege of serving as the Friends of Malheur NWR 2024 Artist in Residence, teaching the eager children of Harney County how to create art that celebrated birds. Student artwork will be displayed in town during the annual Bird Festival.
I am an artist and art teacher living in Vancouver, Washington. My teaching career spans grades K-12 in art. I have taught art at international schools for over 10 years and in public schools in Alaska for 11 years.
Friends of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was formed in 1999 and is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.
