Hi, I am the visual arts teacher for grades K-5 here at Fairview Elementary School. I was born and raised in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains.
I have been teaching art since 2012. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a BS. of Ed.in Art, a BS. of Ed in Elementary Education, and a BFA in Photography. I love teaching art and I believe that art is an essential part of every child's overall education. Because I believe that the arts are interconnected to math, science, language arts, social studies, and basically all areas of study, I practice an integrative approach to teaching.
