Instilling the practice of creating and developing artwork as an investigation is the cornerstone of my teaching.  The process is more important than the product.  Leading students to achieve personal and academic success in my ongoing goal.

I have been teaching for over 20 years with over 17 years in high school art programs. Currently, I am teaching in the drawing and painting track from Visuals Arts I through AP Studio. I hold an MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design and a BS in Art Education from University of North Georgia. Works of mine are in several private collections nationwide, at the University of North Georgia and in various shows in the Atlanta area.

I was born in Birmingham, Alabama and grew up in the Atlanta area and California. I share my journey with my husband, and our two sons.

Observation and the innovative use of techniques, materials, and tools to create are the characteristics of an artist. The ability to impart knowledge, understanding, and confidence to individuals are the characteristics of a teacher. My intention as an art teacher is to act as a catalyst: to encourage, question, and discover through making... instilling a passion for continual learning.
