Natural Disasters by Students

Awhile back, Hannah Crawford-Moody, an elementary school teacher in the UK, emailed me about a class project she did with her students. Their project was about Natural Disasters and they used my paintings on natural disasters as inspiration. The students used a mixture of paint and glue with string, sponges, spatulas, and their fingers to create the various textures and effects they wanted, in their paintings. The teacher was kind of enough to share with me a few of their amazing works of art hung up on the wall...

Not only was I so impressed by their use of texture, expression and shapes, the colors they used were dead on to capture the essence of disasters.

It was incredible to receive this kind of response to my work, and is the reason artists do what they do -- to inspire creativity and feeling in others for generations to come. At least -- that's why I am here painting.
