| Introduction | Students always ask: "Are you an artist?" I tell them I love art and I do make art, but mostly I love sharing what I know about art and art mediums and sparking their creative energies! I think that makes me more of an art teacher than an artist; however, when I’m in the middle of an upside-down drawing demonstration on my infamous big brown lap board, many of my students would beg to differ! I knew I wanted to be an art teacher in second grade when I was "The Art Helper” in elementary school. I went to Mount Mary College, where I majored in Art Education and Art Therapy. I spent my senior summer abroad to finish a few classes in London and traveled the continent to visit all the famous European art museums and architecture! I still travel every chance I get--most often to visit my family in Arizona. My favorite place to visit is Yellowstone National Park--I have even been there in the winter! I’m in Chicago as often as I can be on the weekends to visit my grandmother. I squeeze in time go to the museums there too! I love big cities and art museums but I equally enjoy camping and being outdoors. |
