Teaching:
I taught art curriculum in the public schools for thirty-six years. I have experience with elementary, middle school, high school, junior college, and adult students. I was one of the first in the country to become a National Board-Certified Art Educator in 1997. I have taught in Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio; I hold permanent professional licenses in all three. I retired from the public schools in 2008. We moved to Elk River, MN, in 2013. I continue to utilize my skills and give back to my community using my expertise. I refuse to be idle. I want the rest of my life to be one of challenges and contributions.
