About The Teacher |
I have been teaching art in Polk County for 28 years. Most of my career has been teaching here at LCMA. I love all colors, I love anything pumpkin, and I love beagles! I like to think I am an environmentalist by doing my part to help keep our world beautiful. After all, Mother Nature is by far the most beautiful work of art!

My Outlook on Art Education
|
Visual art is a universal language. It captures the various meanings of life and our world without having to say a word. As an art teacher, I have learned that this universal language is essential to a growing child. The countless educational values learned in art carries over to other areas of curriculum and into life. Through teaching, I guide my students to solve problems by thinking creatively and independently as well as to manage mediums to create unique pieces of art. ... read more My ultimate goal for my students is for them to trust their abilities through practice and decision making. I encourage them to use the universal language of visual arts in order to express their individualities and further - making great life choices.
