About Me

My photo
My teaching career began 17 years ago when I decided I would finally become "What I wanted to be when I was grown-up", a teacher.  At that time I had worked for 15 years in the banking and financial industry and was even a stockbroker at one time. I returned to college and graduated with a Masters of Elementary Education from Wilmington University. I became certified to teach art and currently I teach grades PK-8.  Art is my passion and I love what I do!

21 Secrets: Abstract Adventure: Get it Out, Get it Down


This is another workshop from 21 Secrets, and all I can say this Ning group of workshops will give you the most bang for your buck for online instruction! $59 for 21 
workshops, I didn't even hesitate when I saw the price! 

Starting with the blank page in my mock up art easel.


Preparing to add texture.





Adding the text of my writing.
There is something about journaling that makes me uncomfortable.  I don't like to go back and read my angst filled writing.  Images are much more powerful for me.  I KNOW what they mean, but no one else does.  So, I continue to try and PUSH myself into uncomfortable areas in hopes of a new discovery.

Extra Paint Backgrounds




After completing two paintings from the Abstract Adventure class at 21 Secrets, I used up the leftover paint to create some journal backgrounds.
