Bio

I am the art teacher at West Carroll Middle and High School teaching grade 6 to grade 12 students. In my classes, students are encouraged to think critically and provide many opportunities for research, discussion, problem-solving, experimentation, and application. I often demonstrate tasks and use artists of past and present to inspire the students before they start their personal inquiries.  

I believe that visual art education is an integral part of a student's complete education.  I have come to believe through personal experience that the arts teach a student to make decisions and problem-solve. I endeavor to provide a foundation for my students that will help them as they mature as artists and as individuals. Art is a very powerful tool for communication and it is a joy to share this information with my art students!
