Freelance ILlustration programsInstructed by Ella Bjork Bobzin
I’m a trained and self-taught illustrator with over four years of professional experience, and teaching art is one of the most rewarding parts of being an artist. I design and lead hands-on illustration programs that encourage creativity, artistic confidence, and visual storytelling.
My curriculums are project-based and adaptable, built to give students an oppurtunity to practice skills and use tools to express their own ideas. I’ve worked primarily with children ages 4-14 and offer programs that can be tailored for a wide range of ages,, skill levels, and learning environments. I’ve worked with schools, community organizations, art galleries, and hope to expand to youth centers and enrichment programs.
