Speaking Engagements

Since 2016 I have been invited to share my insight and research on using scent in creative practices, as well as creating unique workshops involving scent and the creative process specific to the venue and community I am collaborting with. These include businesses, non-profits and museums. I have also been a guest lecturer at colleges ion the Pacific Northwest and on the East Coast USA. Lectures range from art history to how artists have impacted the museum landscape.

Most workshops I facilitate are for artists and non-artists alike. Popular workshops include how to use scent in your creative practice and are best for those curious about the power of our noses. Inquire to see if there is a way to collaborate with your community: art is a powerful and unique tool for creativity and new thinking. Please contact me to create a workshop or experience with your community.
