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 journey around the world 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.
