Lives in Chicago, Illinois

ARTIST/AUTHOR/TEACHER

 JOHN H. SIBLEY

 773-419-0230

_________________________________________________________________________

Personal Philosophy:

In an age of cyberspace and quantum physics I think it is critically

important that teachers understand the role that science, art,

mathematics and history intersect in k-12 students lives. I believe it’s

critically important to teach underprivileged students that excellence

can transcend class or poverty. To open their eyes to a new fresh

paradigm like we don’t see objects but waves of light.
