Come and make art side by side as a family. Each week, families will explore a new medium and create a beautiful project together. This class will begin with a reading of the book "Sky Color" by Peter Hamilton Reynolds. Next we will use a process art-painting method to create colorful painted winter skies. While the painted skies dry, we can experiment with chalk pastels to make colorful sunset skies. Chalk pastels are a great sensory experience as we use our hands to blend the colors. A perfect activity to brighten up grey winter days!

As a child, art gave me confidence, focus, and motivation in school. I spent my free time playing in the woods, drawing, and taking care of my many pets – which included several cats and even a small flock of sheep. My artwork today is filled with inspiration from these experiences, especially nature and animals.

I enjoy sharing my talents with others; to empower the struggling student, include the exceptional, and inspire anyone with an interest in creating. I have a BFA in Art Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. I previously worked as an elementary art teacher in Charles City County. Following the birth of my 2 lovely daughters, my focus changed to Early Childhood Education. I earned a certificate in Early Childhood Education from John Tyler Community College and am currently a lead teacher at a play-based preschool in Bon Air where my days are filled with art, music, and fun with the 3-4 year olds in my class.
