• I started teaching at TCR in 2003!  I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in Art Education (both from Florida State University, but don't worry, I'm a UNC Chapel Hill fan...my daughter graduated from there in 2022). I am also a National Board Certified Teacher!  I am married and have 4 children, ranging from ages 15-24. I am so excited to get to know all of you and explore the many avenues of art!

• Artsonia is an online art portfolio platform that I have been using since 2006. Suffice it to say there is A LOT  of art work to look at! You will be able to see the types of projects I like to do with my students. Click on Artsonia below to bring you to the website. 

• Supply List for all of my Art classes
