This will be my nineteenth year teaching art! I received my Bachelor’s degree in Art Education from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. I have worked with young artists of all age levels, and am excited to share my love for art with the students at Franklin Elementary School. I am looking forward to creating an inspiring environment for students to fuel their creative energy, while teaching about a variety of artists and techniques. I want each student to realize his or her potential as an artist.

Calling All Artists:
Be Featured on Downtown Westfield's Pole Banners!
Downtown Westfield is bringing our streets to life through a vibrant public art banner program—and we’re inviting local artists to be part of it.
Submit your original artwork for a chance to be featured on pole banners displayed throughout the downtown district. Selected designs will help create a bold, colorful streetscape that reflects the creativity, energy, and character of our community.
Up to five designs will be selected, with a $250 stipend per piece and artist recognition included on each banner.
We’re looking for visually engaging, high-impact designs inspired by community, arts and culture, music, seasonal vibrancy, and the unique charm of Downtown Westfield.
Deadline to submit: June 5
Make your mark on Downtown Westfield—we can’t wait to see your work.
