"I cannot begin to tell you how much we enjoyed your recent residency here at Harford Day. The incredible mobiles you created with the students are breathtaking! We are all still excited and abuzz at our new additions here. Everyone who sees the mobiles is awe struck, especially by the fact that students created them." Susan McGuirk |

“The experience our students had working with Kevin was something these students will never forget. The icing on the cake is to have this amazingly colorful sculpture the kids can come back and see year after year!” Lisa Foley, Art teacher |

An excellent communicator, Kevin interacts equally well with children and adults filling each session with practical and fun lessons in science and math along with art. The results he and the students achieved by the end of the week are astonishing, and are now being enjoyed by the entire community. SchoolSculptures is an amazing residency project, and gets our highest recommendation. Sharon Owens Carteret Arts Forum Beaufort, North Carolina |

Kevin is a one man band! He comes in with a magical trunk of ideas and resources and the art that unfolds is incredible. The children are at once engaged, inspired and equipped to create masterpieces that will adorn the school for years to come. The best enrichment money that I ever spent as a principal. My favorite part of all: we really had fun. Donna Taylor, Principal, Brooklyn School of Inquiry, Brooklyn, NY |

My class totally enjoyed this experience. My third graders developed a vocabulary list of over 80 words which were used thru-out all academic curriculum areas over the course of the week. To watch the project go from paper to actual sculpture over a 5 day period was awesome. The “hands-on” portion of the residency is something my students will NEVER forget. Thank you to ALL who made this happen at our school!!” Gail Karcher, 3rd grade teacher, Skycrest Elementary, Clearwater, FL |
