Meet the Teachers  at Marion Visual And Performing Arts Magnet (West Memphis, Arkansas)

Courtney Shumock Hi! My name is Courtney Shumock and I am the current art teacher at Marion Visual and Performing Arts Magnet. This is my seventh year of teaching and I absolutely love my job... mostly because there's never a dull moment working with kids AND I get to share something that I love with others. I grew up in the Ozark Mountains in North Central Arkansas and developed a love for art at a young age. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I decided to make a career out of it. I attended Ouachita Ba ... read moreptist University where I earned my Bachelors degree in Studio Arts. I continued my education and earned my Masters in Teaching from Harding University. I truly believe that art speaks when words can't. Creating art is not only fun, but is also a great therapy for students needing an outlet. I hope to continue to use art to help others for many years to come! Send compliment
