Art has always been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. I
would constantly doodle and create art. In high school I started to notice that
I had some skill in art so I decided to pursue art in college.
After I obtained my BFA, my husband and I decided to start a family,
so in my spare time (ha,ha) I would create pencil portraits for people (like
the photo to the left).
For many years this kept me busy and content until 2009 when I taught my first drawing class. I decided immediately that teaching was my passion and I went back to school to obtain my art education degree. Since then I have been happily teaching art.
