A high school art teacher and local artist in the Fredericksburg, VA area. A graduate student at UMW working on a masters degree in k-12 education.
As a high school art teacher, I help guide young adults in learning the basics of art techniques, expand and build on the skills they learn, and understand the influences of artists throughout our history.
Portrait and landscape photographer, I love to capture moments in life. Click the link to view my photography portfolio.
As an artist, I work with a lot of different mediums but the most used is paint. Creativity is so important to me and I use it as a therapeutic tool.
I have 3 wonderful kids that keep me very busy outside of my work life. One in her first year of college, one in 8th grade and a 2 year old who starting his first preschool program this year.
