Did you know that before I became an author illustrator full time I led art workshops in schools, worked as a community arts instructor and supported children and youth in schools? I love connecting with kids, and in all honesty it’s something I really miss working in my studio all day.

I am available for virtual author visits in libraries, schools and childcare centres, as well as some in person visits local to Vancouver Island. I am happy to meet with educators to discuss and plan for the most successful visit that can include art activities, demonstrations, questions and discussion!

Fees vary depending on the scope of the visit. If you don’t have a budget I have included some information on accessing funding in BC, and depending on my availability and need there may be an option to accommodate.

To inquire about an author visit please get in touch with me via email at rozmaclean @ gmail.com or my contact form.

Access funding in BC.

A district can apply for an author or illustrator to give
workshop or presentation in the school classroom and be eligible for funding
to cover up to 70% of the author’s fee!
The District Superintendent decides on how big your grant is and how to
administer it. As a teacher, all you need to do is send a request for Artstarts
funding along with the CWILL BC member’s curriculum vitae to your
district contact.
