Art has been my lifelong passion. I have always felt at home when I was creating something.  My first memories of drawing were of my mother teaching me how to draw chickens.  I use art to express what I can not say in words.  My goal as a teacher is to provide my students with a safe environment that allows them to grow as an artist. I hope to instill in my learners a creative mind that helps them go beyond their limits to accomplish their goals.  It is my belief that art classes aid in building an appreciation for art and the world around us.  My students will embark on a journey of self-respect, self-reflection, growth, tolerance, and academic success.

 This is my 8th year at Hutto High School and my 16th year as a teacher.   I consider myself a continuing student and try to learn something new any chance I get.
