My name is Robin Norgren, M.A. and I am here to help make Montessori philosophy more relevant in the classroom. My projects include: Josey's Art School, The Gifted Learner, Creativity and Wonder and A Montessori Way of Seeing. I found my way into educational spaces as a mother of Creative children yet I am not an art teacher. This information is important because my style empowers teachers who are shy about teaching art but looking for products that promote expression over technical perfection.

I have been so fortunate to go on a journey with my creativity alongside of children. I don't know where I lost my joy for drawing. Maybe it was because I had siblings who were incredibly gifted as being able to draw what they saw. So it is my honor to help foster this curiosity in children. But make no mistake, I get just as much out of being able to create without judgement.
