My earliest memories is my mom taking me to the Hunter Museum when I was tiny. Seeing Paul Jenkins' "Phenomena Royal Violet Visitation" (cover photo) which had recently joined the museum's permanent collection, was a watershed moment in my life. I longed to return and see my "butterfly rainbow" painting and spent hours trying to recreate it on my great-grandmother's kitchen table with scraps of paper and food coloring. Art has been a constant friend, confidante, therapist, and vehicle for celebration and mourning. Research shows creative projects help grow confidence, intelligence, mental health, better academic success, and positive relationships. My greatest hope is that my classroom is a safe, relaxed sanctuary in which my students will work hard, be on fire for learning, and will be gobsmacked at their successes. It's absolutely NOT "talent;" success in art is perseverance, humility, patience, practice, and getting out of your comfort zone.
