“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way... things I had no words for.”

― Georgia O'Keeffe

Hi, I'm Ms. Chandler and I will be your art teacher this year! I have a Bachelor of Arts in Art History + Studio Arts from Winthrop University and a Masters of Art in Teaching in Art Education from the University of South Carolina. I teach AP Art History, Painting I, Printmaking I, Art 2, and Art 1.

I love experimenting with new art techniques. I enjoy printmaking, painting, photography, collage, and book arts. I am also very passionate about art history! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family + friends, traveling, visiting art museums, drinking lots of coffee, and rescuing cats.

I am looking forward to great year at Westwood. We have been through a lot over the last few years and my hope is that my students will be able to use the visual arts as an outlet for their mental and emotional wellbeing. I hope we will inspire each other to look carefully at art history + contemporary artists + within our communities + selves in order to create meaningful and engaging works of art.
