Born a military child at Camp Lejune, North Carolina, I have lived in many of the United States, Japan, and Germany. I have always loved creating art and writing stories but began seriously thinking about a career in art in the eighth grade. I began taking classes in High School to grow as an artist. I began my journey at ECU in 2017, and I have loved every moment on campus. Initially an Art Education Major, I also joined the Art History major and
I love experimenting with multiple media. Most of my pieces take direct inspiration from my travels, personal interests, and written stories. I try to make art that I would enjoy having in my home, striving to make my personal space conducive to my creativity.
My Beliefs on Art Education
My Beliefs on Art Education
I have always enjoyed working with children and watching them learn how to create art for themselves. I believe that Art Education is an important part of child development. Art teaches children how to think creatively, conceptualize designs, represent themselves, and express their emotions. The skills that children learn from an art classroom help them to connect with themselves and the world around them. Art History is also important for students to learn about. Art is a reflection of the human experience, and its documentation shows us how people lived through history. One of my personal goals is to include history in my art room. I want my students to know that art can document their experience as they live in our current world. As an art teacher, I will show my students the importance of art through studying art history and will inspire my students to create pieces that challenge themselves and others.
