About me:
I have the pleasure of being the Visual Arts Specialist for the students of Mills Lawn School. I teach everyone, grades K through 6, and have done so for 28 years! Yellow Springs is a uniquely inspiring and wonderfully artistic place in which to teach. I am blessed to be a part of such a supportive and creative community. Our school is widely diverse, and our young artists are full of enthusiasm and love of the arts.
I received my Bachelor's Degree from The Ohio State University, where I s ... read moretudied art education. After several years of teaching at Mills Lawn, I completed my Master's in Art Education from Wright State University. I have presented at various conferences, including the National Art Education Association convention in Denver, CO, Ohio Art Education Association conventions, and the REACH across Dayton conference.
Some history:
I have enjoyed working with various artists who have visited Mills Lawn as a part of our many residencies over the years. Some favorites include Willis "Bing" Davis, Rob Gartzka, Susan Gallagher, Joan Damankos, and Jo McLaughlin.
In addition to my position as art teacher, in the past, I have helped to produce and direct many of our all-school musicals, also choreographing dance numbers including, "You Can't Stop the Beat," for our production MLS ON BROADWAY, and "Interplanet Janet," from SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK. I also produced and directed our WMLS daily news broadcast for several years.
I'm so happy to have this opportunity to share the fabulous visual art being created by our young artists at Mills Lawn with such a wide audience.
