A little about me:
Many kids and parents know me from town as the Youth Services Librarian at Johnson Public Library, or as the gymnastics instructor with the Johnson Recreation gymnastics programs. I have also taught art in many different settings for almost 15 years. I earned my Bachelors of Fine Art degree from Western Carolina University with a concentration in ceramics, and my Masters of Fine Art from American University with a concentration in painting and drawing. I am lucky enough to have my studio at home, and am thrilled to open it up and share with young students.
