For the past 18 years, I’ve had the joy of teaching art at BES and watching our students grow into confident, creative artists. In our art room, students explore a wide range of media and techniques, using their imaginations to bring original works of art to life.

What makes their work even more special is that each student also writes an artist’s statement, giving them the chance to share their inspiration, process, and personal voice behind their creations.

I am so proud of the incredible talent and dedication our young artists show each day. Thank you for visiting, celebrating their creativity, and supporting the arts at Ballentine Elementary—it truly makes a difference!
