I have been teaching Art in District 45 since 2001. I taught for 10 year in various districts before I came here.

I enjoy working to help each student develop the artist within them. We work on developing our understanding of the elements of art and explore how they can be used with a variety of art media. I encourage them to have a positive attitude, and to try their best. It is my hope that they will continue to develop this positive, "can do" approach in all areas of their life as they learn and grow, not only as artists, but as the wonderful people they were meant to be. It is a joy working with the students of North School.
