Art Education

Wake County Public School System

1986 - 2008 · 22 yrs

I spent eighteen years as an educator with Wake County Public Schools; as visual arts teacher, with a career that spanned K-12, as well as continuing education for adults in the private sector. As an instructor I was known for innovative lesson plans, inspiring award-winning students and providing insights to other educators via articles published in national industry publications. Each day was interesting and challenging because it was necessary to inspire students to create, then collaborating to extract and guide the vision of each student to create their own spin on the project. It's rewarding to see how one idea can adapt into so many different outcomes- a bit like uniquely applying a promotional product as the medium for conveying one's own story.

Independent Business Owner

Affordable Designs- Mural Painting Company

1991 - 2006 · 15 yrs

For 16 years I had the experience of owning and operation my own mural painting business. The opportunity to capture the vision of someone else, for their personal space helped shape the collaborative process we apply today. Whether I was painting in someone's home, the neonatal unit of a hospital or a large wall in a local municipality each project required a deep understanding of the story that needed to be crafted by the imagery I painted.

Education

East Carolina University

Art Education

1982 - 1986 · 4 yrs

East Carolina's art school allowed me to explore art in a way remains evergreen; realizing that it's the variety of mediums and visual styles that connect to an audience. There is no, one way to tell a story visually. Graduated Magna Cum Laude

Cary High School

Cary has grown from a small suburb of Raleigh to a large municipality. Being part of the changes in that area as a resident for over 50 years has provided me prospective for ways to honor our past but build bridges to the future.
