SUMMER 2013 Schedule - Class Schedule
This year Lindsay is excited to have Mollie Davis helping out with the Morning Camps!
Hello! My name is Mollie. I'm currently an undergraduate at Northeastern University, exploring an art major. I am excited to be helping Lindsay this summer and meeting you all! I have taken her figure drawing classes, took art classes in high school and college, and, of course, make art for myself in the meantime. I worked with Marion Abrams at her art barn in Hatfield and I was a teaching assistant for an art class in high school. My hobbies include singing, traveling, and making origami cranes. See you soon!
