I am an art teacher and artist. Mother of two wonderful young ladies. My oldest was recently married and my youngest daughter is a senior at the University of South Carolina. My husband and I have been married for 25 years this year. We are both educators and value the teaching profession.

Welcome to my teaching portfolio. Most of the work in this portfolio consists of students work from 9th through 12th grade.

The classes I taught over the last 14 years consisted of Studio Art I, Studio Art II, Advanced Placement, Graphic Design and Yearbook. 

The opportunity to create is an unexpected treasure, a process of discovery that produces a visual from our imagination or experiences. It is a joy to be able to welcome students into an environment where they can experience creativity through a variety of media and art techniques.  As an art educator I teach students through dialog first, so that they will make a connection with the lesson. If a student can find a personal relationship with the subject matter they will create a piece of art that is meaningful to them. That is my goal, to inspire students to participate in what is going on in the art room, get them excited to talk about their world and then to produce something they are proud of.
