Ellen Mueller's Picks

I am an artist, author (check out my books at my website), and consultant. I taught art and design courses in higher ed for over ten years, and crafted several unique courses on wide-ranging topics (check out past syllabi). I've also taught a variety of workshops in art and community centers for broad and varied audiences. I showcase some of this wide-ranging research here.
