Anne McFaul Reid

Anne enjoys working and collaborating with teachers to create a program that highlights each student's ingenuity. Copper tubing, wire, beads, and paint are some of the materials available for students to explore. Anne is also versed in more traditional mediums as well, i.e. canvas painting, relief printing, and shadow boxes. She is most interested in helping students find their own voice through art. Anne's talents spring from her experience teaching at the Science Museum of Minnesota, the Walker Art Center, and public schools throughout the Twin Cities and from her work as a practicing artist.

This project was beyond my wildest dreams!  Anne was exceptional in presenting, and working with the children to inspire their creativity in making a very memorable art project for all.  Your programs have always been excellent, but having Anne was beyond excellent.

This was a terrific residency.  My students and I thank you for the wonderful opportunity.  There are few school memories that are academic that students carry with them to adulthood.  This is one such memory.
