MRs. Bell

Hello everyone! I am Mrs. Bell! I am so excited to see all of you!

  Artist at heart, I love doing anything art! All art is my passion no matter what material I am using. I have never been able to choose a favorite medium, which comes into play when I am teaching my students. I currently hold a Bachelors and Masters in Art Education. In my free time, I love to create art of all kinds, hiking, scuba diving, and spending time with my family. I find inspiration all around me whether that be from my travels domestic and abroad. I find a huge inspiration with the ocean and its majestic creatures within. I like to bring those aspects of my life to light through my artwork.

           As an art educator, this is now my 4th year here at Swanson and my 8th year of teaching in a school. In the past, I have taught both Elementary and Middle School. As an educator, I am always looking for ways to get students more engaged through the arts and through my projects. My goal as an art educator is to inspire students to engage in the arts whenever they can. Being both an art educator and an artist, it is important to me to show and share my passion for the arts with my students. From my favorite quote of Pablo Picasso- "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once grown up."
