About The Teacher

   I grew up down the road a ways in Douglasville, and attended the 
University of Georgia for four years.  I graduated with honors, earning a 
degree in Art education.  I then taught for a year in Douglas County before 
ending up at wonderful Frey Elementary! Growing up, art was my passion, I 
loved to paint, draw, sculpt, and do just about anything creative.  Becoming 
an art teacher was natural to me, I can't believe I get paid to do something 
I find so fun and rewarding! 
   Your students may have noticed my absence at the beginning of the school 
year.  Our family has just welcomed our little boy Mason Presley Ruhl!  He 
was born on July 28th and weighed in at 9 and 1/2 pounds!  My plan is to stay 
here at Frey for as long as life allows me, We have such a wonderful family 
here, I can't imagine working anywhere else! 
   Things I enjoy doing are: reading, going to the movies, bowling, visiting 
museums, cooking, and playing with my Boston Terrier Monty. Being a new mommy 
means that I don't have a lot of time for much of those activities,though, so 
we mostly stay home and enjoy being a family!!

Mission For The Class

My mission for art class is to expose my students to a variety of media, 
artists, and artistic movements.  My job is to create a safe environment 
that encourages creative expression and exploration through visual media.  We 
also investigate and try to interpret art and what it means to us as 
individuals (aesthetics and criticism).  Most of all, I want my students to 
have fun, be creative, and express themselves!
