Hello my fellow art enthusiasts! I haven't fallen off the face of the planet. I have been consumed with testing second graders! Here are a few things I've completed in the past few weeks. The super exciting news is that I have written an article that is being published in a new Stampington publication titled Create With Me. This magazine will feature artwork by children and the previews look amazing. I started an after school art club in January and Tuesdays have become my favorite day of every week. I have 14 pint-sized artists happily working away and all of us making a merry colorful mess. The best part is they have to help me clean it up! The kids are so excited about seeing their art and names in print. I can't wait until it is released on July 1st. Click on the magazine link to check it out for yourself!This is a sketch I colored with Portfolio crayons and added white rub-ons. This page is for a Marie Antoinette Journal group I'm in. It's Marie's Facebook message! This spread is for an artistic evolution round robin. It's fun to work in a limited color palette!
I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature.
I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom.
I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
