Greetings and welcome to aws Studios. I am a multi-passionate writer, artist, and mental health educator. As an educator, I help teachers and parents boost young peoples’ social-emotional skills with my classroom + home tested resources. As an artist, I create collage landscapes and illustrations using recycled paper and vintage fabric. My latest picture book, "Phoebe and phearnik! Fight BIG Fears," is a fun combination of both my mental health education experience + my collage art. In it, a fearful protagonist sets out on a colorfully collage-illustrated journey to find a way to fear less so they can join in and have fun with other kids. Check out awsstudios.art where I blog about all of my passions. I hope to see you there!
