About Ms. Page

Welcome to my Website!

This is my twentiy-third year teaching art in Greenville County.  

I am very excited about the units we've planned for students to work on in my studio classroom!

Now, a brief introduction of myself... besides teaching in Greenville, I have also taught in Charlotte (NC), Conyers (GA), and Bowling Green (KY). 

Having taught in several states and different school settings, I can honestly say that Oakview is the very best school that I have ever been a part of.  Teaching 

wonderful students and working alongside a dynamic staff and dedicated parents has been a dream come true for me.  

There is no other career that I could imagine to be more worthwhile for me.

A Kentucky native, I grew up and lived in Bardstown (voted 2013's most beautiful small town in America).  I attended college at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, go Hilltoppers!  Originally a photo-journalism major, I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art.  Upon graduating, I moved to Beaufort, SC and set up, Karissa Studio, where I created original pieces of pottery which I sold through local galleries and festivals. 

While living in Beaufort, I found myself with spare time on my hands.  I decided to try substitute teaching during the days.  I fell in love with the classroom.   So, I packed my bags and headed back to WKU  where I obtained a K-12 teaching certificate in Art. 

I have a son, Sam who is attedning College of Charleston

In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with Sam and my fiancé', Matt, gardening, swimming, cooking, reading, arts and crafts, being a Homebound teacher, and teaching private art lessons.  

I also share our home with our pets: 2 dogs: Stewie and CoCo and our cat, (Stinkbug).
