Teacher expertise and credentials
As a homeschool mom, I'm excited to share that I've been homeschooling for 19 years and have plenty of experience under my belt. I'm also an artist and photographer with a passion for fine art, photography, and art education. I love teaching children's art classes and have done so both privately and through local after school and children's museum programs.
My work has even been featured in Parents Magazine and on numerous photography blogs! I'm all about finding connections between things that may not seem related at first glance. To do that, I like to break things down into their simplest parts and look for similarities. This helps me turn seemingly complicated projects into simple, step-by-step lessons that are easy for kids to understand.
I also have a great sense of humor and love to infuse silliness into my lessons and artwork. I appreciate the irony in both art and life and try to bring that lightheartedness to everything I do. So, whether you're just starting out or have been homeschooling for a while, I'm here to share my knowledge and make your homeschooling journey a fun and creative one!
For parents whose children attend traditional schools, you may be wondering how my experience as a homeschool mom and artist can benefit your family. Well, as an art educator, I strongly believe that creativity is an essential component of a child's education, regardless of whether they are homeschooled or attend traditional schools. Incorporating art and creative projects into your child's learning can help them develop critical thinking skills, enhance their problem-solving abilities, and encourage self-expression.
Furthermore, my years of experience in teaching children's art classes have taught me how to create fun and engaging projects that your child can enjoy even outside of a homeschool setting. So, whether you're looking to enhance your child's education at home or simply want to find ways to incorporate more creativity into their day-to-day lives, I'm here to share my knowledge and passion for art education with you and your family.
