Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen is a local artist, naturalist, and teacher, known as "Mr. Nick" to the children. He's illustrated several books that you can check out at our library! He'll teach our community youth how to draw using simple shapes to create beautiful pictures talking about his journey along the way. "Children will go home with a completed drawing, feeling quite surprised and proud of their accomplishments. His motivation is to give them confidence and show every child (and adult) that drawing does not have to be complicated."

"Make your hobby your work". He says," We all have to work when we grow up, we might as well be doing something we like to do"
