Visual Arts Education Resources

I have been an Art Educator working in the public school system for the past 16 years. My resources have been developed through first-hand experience in all grades, K-12. I truly enjoy teaching art and believe in high quality art experiences through rigorous and challenging content.

My teaching style is rooted in the belief that "all children can learn." Whether my student is a kindergartener attending school on the first day or a 17 year old senior in high school painting for the first time, my expectations are high. Students will rise to meet these expectations given time, patience, and respect.
