My mission: My mission is one of encouragement: to encourage creativity through various art mediums, as well as encourage the students to enjoy and appreciate the art works of the great masters-both past and present. On our walk of faith at HCLA this school year, I hope to encourage the students to be a blessing to others as they share their creations in a supportive and loving way with their classmates. One picture is worth a thousand words, so the students will be telling their stories, as well as the stories of Jesus, through their artwork. I am blessed to be their art teacher, to be with them on their walk of faith as they tell the stories of Jesus,and to witness God's light as it shines through their artistic works of art.
