Art

with Mrs. Rosie Abramczyk

About me

Hello! I am excited to be here at St. Gabriel! This is my 11th year teaching art and my 8th year in the Archdiocese. My hope is to liven your children’s days through art and give them a creative outlet. My art lessons will combine digital visuals as well as hands-on art making. We will largely focus on the Elements and Principles of Art, and then expand these into projects related to our world.

In my free time I enjoy gardening and home projects, playing with my son, creating art, exploring St. Louis City and all it has to offer, as well as visiting parks. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia and am also a professional artist. You can see my work here: https://www.ra-artistry.com/

I am loving the community here at St. Gabriel and being part of such a dedicated and hardworking faculty! I look forward to getting to know the families here as well!

(In case you were wondering... my last name is pronounced "ah-bram-zik")
