Laurie Reemsnyder, a graduate with an Art Ed degree from Rhode Island School of Design who and has been teaching Photography since 1999, in Vallejo and at Marin Catholic, is the Mill Valley Chamber‘s selection as Artist of the month for August.
Recognizing that art is transformative and connects us all as humans, Reemsnyder designed a photo project that was implemented each summer on her service trips to Cambodia, Costa Rica, Fiji, Thailand, Bosnia and Peru.
Her passion is in giving young people a voice and having them use it to help others, incorporating service and art.
The First Tuesday Artwalk is set for Tuesday, Sept. 3rd from 5:30pm – 7:30pm.
She has lived in Mill Valley for 39 years; when she’s not teaching photography, she’s teaching line dancing.
Aside from the First Tuesday Artwalk, the Chamber’s office is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 12-4pm.
