Dallas Day and Night

 

Last summer at Carpe Diem, I worked with a group of about thirty summer camp kids between the ages of 6 and 12 to create these paintings.  Here's how we imagined our city.



 

 

The paintings now live behind the front desk in the Carpe Diem lobby.  Their job is to greet the people who walk in our door:  "Welcome, everyone!"

 

Painting at the Reading Room

In December I painted with a group of children and their families at the Christian Science Reading Room in Richardson, TX.  Here's what we made!

Library Garden

 

Last spring I worked with a group of about thirty children between the ages of 5 and 12 to create this picture at Carpe Diem.  We hung it in the Lyn Voegeli Memorial Library.  Lyn was the director of Carpe Diem for many years, and filled it with wonderful books that continue to inspire the children and adults who read together at our school.  Lyn was a dear friend and mentor to me, and I will always be grateful I had the chance to witness the many ways she showed her deep interest in the humanity of all people, and especially children.  Thank you always, Lyn.
