I'm sure being an art teacher now is a direct result of the classes and teachers I had during my time as a student in Jeffco Schools. I remember the experience of creating and learning in the art rooms of each school I attended. The teachers who stand out the most in my mind were Mr. Rucker at Juchem, Mrs. Rusch at Mandalay and Mrs. Huntley at Pomona.

I remember how much fun I always had in art which pushes me to set the same environment for my students.

I always try to be an inspiration to my students and make class fun and memorable.  Letting students use this class as an outlet for creativity and experimentation is what keeps it fun for me.
