I have been teaching art for nearly twenty years, fourteen in Jackson. I believe in allowing my students to bring their interests and passions into the art room and work very hard to help each child use them to engage art making based on their individual skills. I am the creator of the literacy program, known as The Art of Comprehension that uses artworks and illustrations to help teach all students comprehension skills and writing skills. The arts have been a tremendously important part of my life and joyfully work to share my art expereinces with my students. I look forward to working with and supporting your child, regardless of their art making expereince. I can't wait to see what they create and discover!
