Columbia, SC
I have been teaching visual arts since 2007. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of South Carolina in 2007, and my Interdisciplinary Master of Art degree from the University of South Carolina in 2010. I have been teaching at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, SC since beginning my career in education. I have been a board member of the South Carolina Art Education Association for the past eight years, and my last position was secretary on the executive board. For several years, I have been a guest artist, teacher, and judge for the midlands Tri-District Arts Consortium. At the state level, I have been an assessment rater for the South Carolina Arts Assessment Program since 2010. I have attended numerous classes for curriculum and instruction through the SC Education Department, and have presented lessons to my fellow teachers at conferences, both state and nationwide. I do not have a favorite medium to work with; I enjoy explorations in drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, and ceramics. As an artist, I am drawn to peculiar, interesting, and dramatic subjects. I am always looking for a challenge, a way to feed my soul, and to be playful with creation.
