Welcome artists! I teach Visual Art I and II. This is my first year at North East High, but my fifth year teaching. I was born and raised in North Carolina. I received my Bachelors in Art Education with a concentration in Printmaking from Fayetteville State University. I have been married for 7 years, and have two beautiful children. As a teacher I strive to create an environment that is welcoming, safe, and engaging. Following the TN Art Standards, students will develop and experiment with new techniques, strengthen their problem solving skills, be challenged to think more creatively, and build their confidence in expressing their inner voice, experiences and interests. I believe Art gives us the power to explore, question, confront, and challenge how we think about the world.
