About the store
I have been creating art since I was able to hold a pencil. From an early age I accompanied my father in his woodshop, and grew up to earn a bachelors in Art Studio and a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. I've been working with children in education since I was 16 through arts camps. Now at the age of 34, I'm able to combine all my art skills as well as my knowledge of education as an Elementary School teacher and Arts Integration Team Leader.

Teaching style
My teaching style promotes problem solving and cross curricular connections. I never want children to copy my work. I'm more interested in what they are learning instead of their final product.
My own education history
I graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park with a Bachelors in Art Studio and a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction in 2007
