Thank you for visiting my web page!! I absolutely love teaching art here in
Stockbridge.
I live in Pinckney with my husband, Dave. We live in a log cabin and enjoy
camping, boating and relaxing. I love to do ceramics, repurposed crafts and
gardening in the summer.
My education and experience background is an Elementary Education bachelor's
degree from Eastern Michigan University, with a major in Science and a minor
in Art. I taught self-contained classroom in grade 2, 4 and 5 for four years
Westland and Romulus before coming to Stockbridge.
I began teaching art in Stockbridge in 1999. There was no program for art in
the elementary schools at the time, so we began by creating an art program
that combined core curriculum subjects with art projects.
The elementary art program has evolved over the years as our state and
national educational goals change. The advances in technology have also
influenced the direction of the program. Our elementary art program
continues to grow, mature and reflect the creativity of our students.
My mission for the elementary art program is to provide motivating, artistic
experience that combines art elements and principles with core
curriculum objectives.
