I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Parkside with a BA degree in Art and Art Teaching Certification. For over 25 years I was the 3rd generation owner of my family’s restaurant and also substitute taught in Kenosha county schools. This is my 8th year at SJCA and each one has been filled with art students who use their imaginations to create wonderful works of art. I’m inspired by their enthusiasm and thrilled when they discover talents they thought they never had. Art is a visual language that enhances learning in all other subjects.
