My family and I moved to Oklahoma from West Plains, Missouri where I taught
for nine years in an elementary/middle school. I love teaching because it
gives me the opportunity to educate and encourage students of
all ages about the importance of creativity through art!
I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1994 with a
Bachelor of Science in Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an
emphasis in Graphic Design. I also began working towards a Masters of
Science in Elementary Education from Southwest Baptist University. My
husband, Rick and I have two beautiful daughters, Taylor and Kate. When I
am not working I love spending time outdoors with my family, drawing, or
reading a good book.
I am so excited to be able to teach at Prairie Vale!
My mission is for my students to gain knowledge and appreciation for various
styles of art while experimenting with an assortment of media, such as
watercolor, drawing, tempera, pastels, clay, and collage.
