“In our middle school, we focus on good habits of mind, character and heart, like empathy, compassion and hope, to help the girls develop strong, enduring relationships. At this age, they are ripe for good coaching and open to good conversations; we want to engage them in ways that will help them grow.”

    Bio
     
    What do you love about teaching?  
    Imparting the concepts involved with seeing art, making art, and sharing the wonder and beauty of that experience with students is an awesome mission for me every day. The best days in the studio are those when students discover their potential through perseverance and engagement with the art process. Projects that make students reflect, build confidence, stretch ideas, and connect art to the world outside the studio are what drive me. I love to see when a student never gives up on her art, tries her very best, learns to trust her intuition and unleashes her creative potential.

    What are the benefits of an all girls education? 
    In our all-girls environment, I see girls asking critical questions, exploring creative endeavors, joining clubs and sports, and participating in competitions. They gain confidence and flourish academically and emotionally.

    What is your favorite Montrose tradition?
    The Senior Will. It is a platform where the entire community hears messages that symbolize the genuine connection between students and their teachers.

    What’s a book that has influenced you?
    Creative Authenticity: 16 Principles to Clarify and Deepen Your Artistic Vision by Ian Roberts. It is a collection of essays about inner exploration and asking the questions each artist needs to address if her work is to be deep, true and meaningful.

    Is there a quote or motto that inspires you?
    “To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.” - Leonardo da Vinci

    Who is someone past or present you would love to have dinner with?
    Andrew Graham Dixon. He is an amazing British art historian, author of several books and producer of many art documentaries.

    What are some of your passions, hobbies or skills outside the classroom?
    Other than pursuing my personal artistic goals in drawing and painting, my six-year-old son is my current primary interest outside the classroom.
