"Teaching art has always been part of who I am: I love working with 'my kids', seeing what they can create and achieve. I have combined some of my favorite things in being a yearbook advisor (photography, design and writing) and have loved being able to create something with my staff that impacts the entire school. Colored pencil is one of my favorite media to teach."
