Biography

I currently teach almost 1000 children in a fabulous elementary school in SW Florida and absolutely LOVE my job! Like most children, I told everybody what I wanted to be when I grew up - in the second grade, I was telling everyone that I was going to be an art teacher... I began my teaching career in Pinellas County Floirida, in a school with no art room and no air-conditioning! I would load up my little wooden shopping cart with paints and Papier mache, and head to the meet my students in their classrooms. Sometimes I would have to cart everything upstairs to the rooms on the second floor. What fun we had! Now, as I near the age most people retire, I look forward to many, many more years in the classroom with my budding artists.
