Welcome! I'm a person who wears a lot of hats: wife, mom, taxi driver,"domestic engineer", veterinarian, artist, and now, teacher! I graduated in December 1999 from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs with a Bachelor of Arts, Visual Arts Studio degree. In August 2001, I started teaching the art, art history, and computer classes at James Irwin Charter High School in Colorado Springs. In addition, I design graphics, programs, tickets, forms, and the website for the high school and the new middle school (opening August 2003). Until April 2003, I was also the computer and network guru, installing and troubleshooting the server, printers, and software for the computer lab (TWICE!), and installing the new grading program for the school. We've just linked our grading system to the Internet--a big help for parents! I'm also involved with the Digital Design (Newspaper and Yearbook) classes; I'm the advisor for National Honor Society; and I'm a founding member of the JC (Judicial Committee), which hears cases of student discipline. We just finished the updates on next year's student handbooks, and I'm planning the curriculum for the art history classes at the middle school level. This website is dedicated to my art and my family, and is constantly being updated. Enjoy the visit, and come back again!
