"What do scientists do?"

We discussed how scientists ask questions, do fieldwork, make observations, document experiments, write-up their findings and share them with others. And we drew fossil specimen collected in Republic, WA to make detailed observations on the fossils.

ARTIST in RESIDENCE - WHITELEY SCHOLAR, Whiteley Center, San Juan Island. Creative Inspiration Surrounded by the Salish Sea on San Juan Island, the Helen Rabioff Whiteley Center hosts academic scholars and artistic spirits . I plan to focus on a new art project during my creative retreat at the center and to roam the wild trails and rocky shores of the island for pods of orcas, hermit crabs, bald eagles, and foxes. Tucked in pristine, coastal woods the University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories, a world-renown marine research station, are an inspirational haven away from my urban studio and the buzz of the city. |
Wonderful spider crab encountered on our dive.

ARTIST in RESIDENCE - IslandWood, Bainbridge Island. The Art of Maps As a teaching artist, I facilitated 4 arts and sciences workshops for talented 4th and 5th graders in the School Overnight Program at IslandWood. The Nature Learning Center located on Bainbridge Island is a beautiful campus in the woods. I had the privilege to interact with its amazing cohort of graduate instructors leading students to learn about the environment. The young, visiting students that worked with me mapped the beach at historical Blakely Harbor. |

Geology group at Frenchman Coulee

GEOLOGY EXPEDITION LEADER - French American School of Puget Sound, Mercer Island, WA.
Geological Exploration of Washington State
Twenty one 6th graders and four instructors from the
French American School of Puget Sound explored the geological history of Washington state with me. And all in French!
From the wild Pacific coast to the spectacular volcanic
landscapes of the Columbia river plateau, the students
discovered the processes that form and modify beaches, rivers,
fossil deposits, mountains, volcanoes and glaciers through time.
In the field, through observations of rock outcrops, collection of
samples and challenging questions, these adventurous students
learned how to decipher the geological story of our state.
