"The chief enemy of creativity is good taste."-Pablo Picasso
I remember the excitement I felt when I walked into my elementary art room. I waited with anticipation for what my art teacher had planned for us that day. Since my elementary school days my excitement for art became a passion, that turned into a desire to become an art teacher.
My goal is for every child to experience that excitement in art and to be successful at his or her personal best. Art has the unique ability to offer students self-expression, along with developing their character. In the process of coming up with creative solutions in art, students are developing their higher-order thinking skills and problem-solving skills.

Water Pump 5' X 6'
Two of my favorite mediums in art are paint and clay. In college I worked on a series of large scale abstract paintings that incorporated family photos. In this painting, Water Pump, my brother and I are gathering water to take back to our campsite. Family is very important in my life.
Besides spending time with family and friends and creating art, I enjoy taking walks with my husband and our two dogs, cycling, sewing, reading and going to the movies!
