Art Teacher & Artist
I have been an art teacher for over 21 years in public schools and numerous art camps. I feel so very blessed to have experienced this role in my life. Through my experience with students, I have developed my own personal approach to art and teaching it. One of my main focuses is for students to experience their own signature for art. I make an effort to expose them to master artists, folk art and different cultures from around the world. My hope was and is to teach tolerance and understanding for others through art. I also encourage exploration and experimenting with mediums and learning new art techniques.
My family moved from the Front Range to the Valley 2 years ago after years of visiting and planning. I have 4 grown children, grandchildren, dogs and a husband. I love hiking, cross-country skiing, fly fishing and traveling. Of course, I love making a mess in the art room!
