Besides teaching middle school (& loving it), I have two kids ... read more of my own and am very active with their activities - swimming, basketball, and gymnastics. I also have a Blue Heeler Malamute who loves to drag me around the hills of the neighborhood . A Kansas City native, I went to the mountains and desert of Arizona to earn my Bachelor's, and returned home to the Midwest to become a mom, get my Master's, and begin teaching. I enjoy mountains, hiking and lifting, yoga, baking, photography and painting.
Art is the thing that endures - it informs and is informed so many aspects of our lives. With art practice, I believe that students can not only make sense of their experience and realize their perceptions, but also develop the ability to problem solve and make tangible their visions - to create something from a relative nothing.
A portion of any purchase you make goes back to the school art program. Thanks for being here!
