Hello Pirate Artists and Families! I am so excited to join IHES as your Art Teacher this year! This will be my fourth year teaching art in the district, with the previous three being at Ebinport.  I am looking forward to exploring, creating, and growing your artists this year. I love to challenge and expand creativity through exploration of different artistic mediums and processes.  I have both my Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Arts in Teaching from Winthrop University.  I am also an active member of both SC Art Education Association and the National Art Education Association.  Before becoming an art teacher, I spent seven years as a commercial interior designer working in Charlotte, NC. I am passionate about teaching visual art and I feel so honored to work with your children!

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband (Jake), two daughters (Ryleigh and Aubrey-fellow Pirates!), and two dogs (Lindee and Della).  I love to create art, read a good book, stay active through fitness, and cheer for the Georgia Bulldawgs! 

I look forward to meeting you and celebrating the work from our studio!
