Kristin marvels at the wonders of rainbows, dandelions and the versatility of cardboard.
Elisha takes note of butterflies and hummingbirds, the tiniest flowers, and loves to cut paper in swirly shapes.
Once upon a time there were two teachers, who went off to the Big City to be artists and teach art to children. Elisha Georgiou and Kristin B. Eno met in the M.Ed. program of the Art Education department at Columbia Teachers College, where they each finished up their theses around 2004. Kristin started to make films about the things children do and say in their imaginative play, and continued to teach art and video; Elisha also taught art. Then they each became mommies (two creative children each!). Elisha's first became a part of Kristin's Spirit Ship film, a Little Creatures production with a companion book illustrated by that very creative daughter, and co-written by Elisha and Kristin. Once Spirit Ship had sailed out into the world, Elisha and Kristin could not stop talking about the wonders of childhood and how they both loved dreaming and playing and working with children. So over the next three years, the seeds of Find & Seek were planted and began to grow . . . seeds planted in Brooklyn that flowered into a series of parent/child workshops, professional development and conference presentations, and later gave way to Willow Nest Studio, Elisha’s wonderland of a home-based preschool in Windsor Terrace, and Kristin’s Rainbow Studio in the Manny Cantor Center on the Lower East Side, which shared space with an offsite Materials Center run by Teaching Beyond the Square. The creative work continues now in Find & Seek’s professional development offerings in NYC and CT, where Kristin is based and pursuing a Masters of Arts in Religion at Yale Divinity School. Kristin is also creating a History Atelier at the Elizabeth Jennings School for Bold Explorers/PS 456 (3K - 5th) in downtown Brooklyn, while Elisha teaches a range of workshops and camps in her always ever-magical Willow Nest Studio.
