Brushstrokes and Backroads

Welcome to the Artfully Educate Blog—a space where creative educators find inspiration, insights, and gentle guidance to bring more art and heart into their classrooms.

Welcome to Brushstrokes & Backroads—a podcast for creative educators navigating the winding path of teaching, art making, and self-discovery.

This is where our journeys come together. Here you’ll find real stories from the incredible educators I’ve had the honor of coaching—along with their reflections, creative lesson plans, and moments of growth.

This is where I open my sketchbook and share the stories behind my own creative and teaching journey. From studio experiments to lesson plans that took unexpected turns, you’ll find the real, messy, and meaningful moments that shape who I am as an artist and educator.
