Some of my own work

This is a mask I created to show my students how one artwork can inspire another artistic response.

Can you tell that Vincent vanGogh's Starry Night is one of my favorite master artworks?

A painting for the first show I ever exhibited in.
The cupcake is sitting on the china given to me by a dear neighbor.

Another Cupcake from my first show!

A painting of my favorite tree in Rochester, NY in a park where my daughter ran during college at RIT. The tree was stuck by lightning shortly after her graduation so I was very glad to have this memory!

A fiber art character I created while at a National Art Ed Association conference in NYC.

About Me

I'm an elementary art teacher who loves being in the midst of my student's creative efforts. Teaching is most fun when all my students are engaged in the creative process in the supportive environment we create for ourselves in the art room. I'm also an artist, with a studio off-site, but I don't sell my work partly because I don't have enough time to devote to my craft. I paint in the summer and once in a while during the year when I'm caught up with my teaching obligations. My students occupy my mind most of the time - whether I'm looking for better ways to present ideas to their multiple learning styles, or improving the depth of possible responses to a lesson. This feels like play and I wouldn't trade in my job for any other... aside from becoming a full-time artist when I'm ready to retire!

I've included some of my own work in this blog to show my students that I too love to create! Contrary to what some young ones think... I do not live at school and i do have a life of my own! Ha!
