I have been teaching for 26 years, mostly in the Eugene School District. I love my current job, teaching art at Churchill High School. I like to help them experience the creative process and their own creative and expressive selves.
Art involves problem solving, communication and imagination.
What a joy to see that fully expressed in every student. I also believe that it is important to understand and appreciate art in the world around us and to pay attention to the aesthetic qualities in our environment. We need to create and preserve these qualities as they greatly enhance the quality of our lives. What I do in my spare time is mostly take care of my home and my family. I have a teenage boy who needs time and attention and likewise a husband.
