A Little Bit About Me...
Ok, I admit it! I was one of those "horse crazy" girls when I was a kid.
But I never got to even be near a horse, or any animals for that matter! My dad had asthma, so no pets were allowed! I satisfied my strong desire to learn about horses by reading every horse story I could put my hands on. I also loved to draw and paint as a child, and was teaching art to my former elementary teacher's students when I was in high school!
Then, I grew up, graduated from college. Got married to another art teacher....and went animal crazy! We have been blessed to teach what we love, and we are very blessed to live in the country with 3 horses , 2 dogs, 7 cats and a flock of very domestic chickens (they think they are dogs and follow us around everywhere!). I compete my AQHA mare in dressage and western dressage. I also am a professional artist and I paint about the Florida cowboy lifestyle. Teaching art is my passion and I love to teach young people through adults how to look at and talk about art, as well as learn to create art through sequential skill development. There is no such thing as "I can't draw a straight line" in my classroom!
