About Denise Cassano

I am a self taught artist who is determined to share my love of animals and nature with the world.  My intention is to celebrate the diversity of animal species, reminding us of the rich tapestry of life that coexists alongside us. I explore the interconnectedness of all living beings, emphasizing the importance of conservation and the preservation of our planet's biodiversity. Animals are not just subjects of aesthetic appreciation; they serve as ambassadors for the fragile ecosystems they inhabit, urging us to reflect on our responsibility as stewards of the Earth.

I have been an educator for over 30 years. I ran the CornDogArt blog,  which discusses art, creativity and critical  thinking in the classroom.  I've had articles and illustrations published in School Arts and Arts and Activities Magazine, Horizons Magazine and Science Stories, Teachers and Children as Science Learners, and  Edutopia.org and various art blogs.  I made an ebook, Using Art to Inspire Creative Writing,  a free resource for teachers to encourage creative writing.
