Mrs. Karen
Art Teacher
Biography:
"As far back as I can remember, I was always the happiest "in the zone" when creating something. I took my first art lessons outside of school when I was in second grade and I have never stopped my pursuit of expanding my visual communication skills. For many years, drawing was my tool to help my interior design customers visualize their dreams before I made those dreams a reality. Now my dream is that I use my art skills and knowledge to open the hearts and minds of my students to the mystery and magic of creating and communicating with the visual arts."
Degrees:
BA in Art from the University of NC Greensboro.
AA Interior Design American River College, Sacramento, California
Certified Window Treatment Specialist from the WCAA.
Why did you get
into teaching?

having my own children, I have been actively involved in their lives by teaching
Sunday school, leading girls scouts and boy scouts, and training children to
sing. I
finally felt truly called to teach art full time in order to improve the lives of
children and to have them enrich my life in return."
Expectations or rules for students:
"Be prompt, be prepared, be polite, and be productive".
