Always Rewarding!
Having the opportunity to use my creative talents to contribute positively to the people around me is one of the most rewarding things about being a community artist. Through my art, I can inspire and bring joy to those in my community, and it is a truly fulfilling experience for me. I also gain a great deal of inspiration from connecting with others who share my passion for art and creativity. I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with the community as an artist.

Cedarwood Elementary
Visual Arts residency with The Butte County Office of Education "Teaching Artists in School" Program
For this online residency in 2021, teaching artist Bobby Rae Jones collaborated with a sixth-grade teacher in Cedarwood Elementary to create mosaics that integrated with a unit on Roman history. The Mosaic medium was one of the most important two-dimensional art forms to the Romans. Lessons utilized key Roman imagery such as the eagle. The Mosaic pieces will be joined to create one collaborative work in the school library to teach Relationship Skills.
