I have been interested in learning and creating art since I was a young girl. My love of art has evolved through the years into many different directions. The most rewarding thing in my life was my decision at the age of 45 to start college and to become an art teacher. My teaching career was like magic! It was so rewarding to teach and see the students self-esteen soar as they created, and saw their art on display. I am retired now, and I still miss my students and teaching, and all the things that they taught me!
What a sweet way to thank!
