As a teacher, artist and parent, I am passionate about sharing my love for art with children.  I am an
Oregon native, and have recently moved to Colorado with my husband and daughter.  After completing my Bachelor of Arts degree in hotel management,  I was the Children’s Director at Bacara Resort and Spa in Santa Barbara, California.  There I had an opportunity to develop and deliver children’s art and educational programs to resort guests.  My passion for education was furthered when I obtained my Master of Arts in Education degree.   Over the past five years, I have enjoyed teaching kindergarten students, where my focus was the integration of art into my curriculum. While teaching kindergarten, I was recognized as one of Oregon Education Associations top five Working Wonders Teachers.      

My ultimate goal is for students to love learning.  Every child has unique learning styles and talents.  Through art, and the process of creating art, children are given the opportunity to maximize their talents, while exploring new techniques and ideas.

I have created jewelry and beaded art for many years as a hobby and a business venture. I also spend time using my creative energy on graphic design and other areas of creativity. 

I have children of my own and greatly enjoy working with them on artistic projects.  I look forward to helping your children explore their creative side.

I’ve worked with clay on and off over the past 25 years. For the past two years I’ve taught clay working to elementary through middle school aged kids. I always get a kick out of kids’ faces when they first discover the magic of clay. I whole-heartedly believe in mud’s innate power to unleash everyone’s creativity.
