I majored in art and elementary education. I taught kindergarten for 10 years and education for teachers at a local community college for 30 years. My only stint at teaching art in the schools was a 15 week interim art teaching assignment after I retired. This was one of the most satisfying experiences in my teaching career. Through the years, I have taught many adult watercolor classes. I enjoy passing on my love of painting to others. About thirteen years ago I began working on a Masters in Art Degree. One of the classes I took was a ceramic class. I was very bad at it, but it became a challenge that I couldn’t resist. After I retired from teaching, I turned our garage into a pottery studio and of course, after many pottery classes, got hooked on potting. I spend most of my time now with pottery, but still work with watercolor at least one day a week. I am currently teaching watercolor two Fridays a month at our local senior citizen center, which is very rewarding.
