Teaching
As an artist-educator, Mary Beth extends her interest in communities by developing opportunities for children to learn through photography and writing. Working primarily with urban schools and non-profit organizations, she teaches students skills they need to reflect on their families, their communities, and themselves, and helps them share their work with the public. Her projects have been supported by Brown University, The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, and Habla: The Center for Language and Culture, in Merida, Mexico.
She is currently working with the third grade at the International Charter School in Pawtucket, RI, on a project called "Documenting Culture." This project has been awarded a 2010 Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Grant.
