Lee Chisholm

For the past eleven years, Lee Chisholm has taught science, math, and history to the seventh and eighth grades of the Friends School of Portland. Before that, he told stories, sang, drew, painted, directed plays, and taught a host of academic subjects as a Waldorf class teacher in Freeport’s Merriconeag Waldorf School, which in 1984 he helped to found, and in Camden-Rockport’s Ashwood Waldorf School, which in 2004 helpfully found him. Outside the classroom, Lee has for years led art builds and collaborated in the design of climate justice actions with 350 Maine. He paints regularly with ARRT! [Artists Rapid Response Team], an offshoot of the Maine Union of Visual Artists, and maintains a studio in Portland at Running With Scissors.
