I was born and raised in Chicago. I attended Chicago State University
where I earned my Bachelor's of Science in Education in 1967 with a
minor in art. My Master's Degree is from Illinois Institute of Technology's
School of Design where I received a Master of Science in Visual
Education in 1974. I taught junior high art for two years in a suburb of
Chicago and at a high school in Dolton, Illinois for eight years. My
husband and I spent a full year in Europe traveling around and toured
twenty three different countries while we drove over 44,000 miles. Then
we moved to Texas where I taught in H.I.S.D for one year and in
Dickinson for two years.
I have taught art at Friendswood High School for 27 years.
My husband, Jim, and I have lived in the Clear Lake area for over 30
years. Our interests are plants, ballgames, attending art festivities and
golf. We have no children and 2 cats.
Sad news: Our hairless cat, Mick, who has been a "celebrity of interest" for many years on Halloween
went to Cat Heaven last spring. One of our other cats Maybelline also had health problems and we
lost her too. Both of them were 15 years old and are greatly missed.
This was a great traveling summer for the Nemitz's. We were able to visit Chicago and Milwaukee to
see family and friends and enjoyed the beautiful city and all it has to offer. We also went to see New
York City for the first time and saw all the tourist attractions. The best part was seeing so much
timeless artwork at the MOMA, the Whitney Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Guggenheim and the Frick. The people were very friendly and the food was wonderful. Then we
went to visit a friend in New Jersey and explored the"Jersey Shore". It was an awesome experience!!
To further education and interest in art through classroom assignments
and exploration of various medias. Hopefully, students will consider
art a part of their lives and will learn to appreciate it and incorporate it
into their lives. They should realize that art is everywhere and that everything we use and buy has art
related to it in some aspect.
