Imogene Drummond, M.F.A., M.S.W., created Art Sparks Cosmic Creativity and Well-Being Program. She is an internationally collected painter, award-winning filmmaker, artist-educator, and former psychotherapist. Her experience, talent, and vision converge in Art Sparks. This transformative program cultivates empowerment, and supports and celebrates mutually-beneficial relationships with oneself, others, and the Earth.
Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist and author Jared Diamond endorsed the thought-provoking anthology The Rule of Mars (KIT, 2006), in which Imogene’s article “Options for the Future” is the closing piece. In it, Imogene proposes a metamorphic roadmap for cultural change that can create a flourishing future for all.
Divine Sparks film won the Legacy Outstanding Merit Award at its premiere at the MIX International Short Film Festival in 2012. This whimsical, archetypal film led to the development of Art Sparks multi-sensory, interactive course—in which the film is incorporated. National and international film festivals, including animation and children’s film festivals, have screened Imogene’s short films.
TEACHING AND PRESENTING ART SPARKS
Since 2012, Imogene has taught and presented Art Sparks in diverse venues.
From 2014 to 2025, Art Sparks took San Miguel Academy, a visionary middle school in New York, from STEM to STEAM.
In 2024, Imogene offered Art Sparks workshops at the Creation Spirituality Communities Retreat in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
In 2023, she taught Art Sparks to adults online, hosted by Programs in Earth Literacies. She is teaching it again in the spring of 2026.
The Children of the Universe Educational Project, an international educational initiative promoting Cosmic education, selected Art Sparks curriculum as part of its 2026 offerings.
Imogene has presented Art Sparks at EarthConnection (2024, 2022), the International Big History Association global conference (2021), the International Boys’ Schools Coalition conference (2019), the National Art Education Association national conference (2013), and at graduate programs at the Maryland Institute College of Art—one of the country’s premier art schools (2016, 2015).
PAINTING EXPEDITIONS
During a 10-year period, Imogene embarked on numerous painting expeditions to beautiful and spiritual places around the world, including the Galapagos Islands, Uluru in Australia, Delphi and Knossos in Greece, Anatolia in Turkey, and Borobudur in Java.
While living in Crete, she created the seminal work that led to Art Sparks and to articles about transforming patriarchy. Due to her international travels and subsequent exhibitions, Imogene was invited to join the Society of Woman Geographers, whose membership has included Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, and Jane Goodall.
After living for 27 years nestled in the woods next to a babbling brook in New York’s Hudson Valley, Imogene embarked on a new adventure. She is currently on a two-year worldwide journey to collaborate with forward-thinking educational organizations that value nature and transformative education. With them, she hopes to teach Art Sparks and contribute to their work and success.
