Important information:
I don't believe in "I can't."
Try. You only truly fail if you never try. As long as you are trying, you
are learning, improving, growing and finding ways to do better. Mistakes
help you know there are better ways to do something. Don't say “I can't,”
instead say "I can try to do my best!"
About me:
As a child, I lived in Kansas where the winters are much colder than Texas
and the summers are just as hot, but shorter. I received a Bachelor of Fine
Arts degree in Design/Illustration from the University of Kansas. After
moving to Texas with my husband in 1998, I worked for the Austin Public
Library where my love of books, working with children and art were renewed.
I received my certification to teach art at Texas State University, and now
I have the pleasure of helping my students learn and grow as they explore
the wonderful world of art!
Passions/Hobbies
Art – Painting and drawing. The medium I use the most is watercolor with
pen and ink and/or colored pencil, but I love to try other media too.
Experimenting with art can be fun!
Collecting children’s picture books – especially folk and fairy tales.
Reading – Children’s books, Young adult fiction, Art related books and Sci-
Fi/Fantasy.
Walking/hiking with my husband, Chris.
One of my favorite quotes:
"We cannot escape fear. We can only transform it into a companion that
accompanies us on all our exciting adventures....Take a risk a day--one
small or bold stroke that will make you feel great once you have done it."
-Susan Jeffers, illustrator
Ok, I know I have said this before, but they are truly the most important
words on this page...
