"This [Avatar] program really captured their imagination and it was great
to see them caught up in the project. Thanks again for all you do to keep
art alive. I look forward to working with you again."
--Pat Roche, Carol Stream Public Library
"Thank you for once again presenting an exciting and successful
program at the MPPL.... I look forward to working with you again!"
--Erin Emerick, Mt. Prospect Public Library
"Children and parents were delighted with your excellent, exciting
instruction. The children did a fantastic job with their artwork thanks to
your great teaching."
--Nancy Sauer, Fountaindale Public Library
"It is a pleasure to work with a presenter who comes prepared, delivers
an exceptional program and connects so well with her audience. I am
highly recommending Christine to other Libraries through my
programmers network."
--Terri Campbell, Prospect Heights Library
"We had a full house of 3rd through 7th graders, and they all had a
wonderful time. Christine led the group through an interactive
introduction of the different characteristics of comic characters and
gave the students ample time to draw their own under her guidance. She
provided art materials for the students to use and skillfully kept them on
track throughout the program. Overall, a great experience!"
--Elisa Gueffier, Lake Villa District Library
"Everyone liked (the program); the Rec leaders even joined the wire
sculpting. The combination of art instruction, storytelling and art
creation kept the group interested, active and engaged."
--Jerry McNally, Chicago Public Library, Roden Branch
"Thanks again for the wonderful workshops on Saturday! It was
great to have you be our 'guest artist.' We received so many positive
comments from parents! The pictures the children drew during the
workshops were really wonderful."
--Jan Hastings, Cook Memorial Library
"The class was great. The kids had fun and were amazed at what
they could draw. The parents too!"
--Rose Johnson, Indian Trails Library
"Wonderful presentation! It was not only interesting, it was also very
organized and engaging. Christine has a wonderful rapport with kids
using good humor and enthusiasm."
--Mrs. Roemer, Arlington Heights School District 25
"Christine’s imaginative presentation engaged and motivated our
students, parents, and staff. Her experience as an art teacher enables her
to capture the attention of any group or age of students. I highly
recommend Christine, she will enrich and supplement any art or reading
program."
--Lauren Lotton, Yorkville School District 115
