Dear Students, Families and Friends,

Last school year, when I closed my classroom door on Friday, March 13, I was expecting to come back from Spring Break to hang my sixth CHS student art exhibit at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum the following week. I never imagined all that would follow. I was sad and sorry that all of my talented art students did not have the opportunity to see their exceptional artwork hanging on the wall of an art gallery in Santa Fe. When it became clear that it could not happen this school year either, I was determined to showcase their work in this virtual format. I hope that you enjoy it and will share it with all of your families and friends. These art students deserve recognition for their amazing talents, abilities and love of art.
