Trusted community arts programming for youth in Lane County.

Philosophy
We believe children learn through play, exploration, experimentation, and connection.
We value process over perfection and focus on creating environments where children feel safe to explore materials, express ideas, and discover confidence in their own creativity.

accessibility and inclusion
sensory-rich exploration
collaborative learning
child-led discovery
Experience
I am a community educator, a creative, and facilitator with more than 25 years of experience working with children and families. I believe that art is for everyone, and every child deserves a safe, welcoming space to explore, create, and belong.
My work is rooted in process art, child-led exploration, and the belief that every child is already an artist. I focus on creating spaces where creativity is accessible, inclusive, and free from pressure to produce a “perfect” end result.
Through MishMash Arts, I bring hands-on art experiences directly into communities, schools, and programs. At it’s core, my work is about honoring play and it’s importance in our development.
