Rates and other details

Experience: For over two decades, I have taught scientific illustration and nature journaling at biological field stations, science museums, nature centers, art museums and arts centers, libraries, and other settings. I also teach as a visiting instructor in college and university biology and ecology classes as well as in high school biology classes. See below for a list of institutions where I have taught in the past, many of which offered repeat invitations.

Materials: I can provide all materials for participants with an added materials fee. Alternatively, I can provide a preferred materials list and participants can bring their own.

Group size: The nature drawing instruction programs work best for groups of six to fifteen participants. Art-science lectures and discussions can be offered for any size group.

Rates: I offer competitive rates that can be adjusted on a sliding scale. Rates will vary depending on requirements of the class, provision of materials, and other parameters. Let’s start a conversation!
