Open House- Meet the Teacher Overview- will be posted after the open house in Sept.

 I am the Art and PALS teacher for Lopez Middle School.  This will be my 28th year teaching art and my sixteenth year teaching art and PALS at Lopez MS. I taught art in the Comal District for eleven years before taking a seven-year sabbatical to raise my two daughters. I am a graduate of Southwest Texas State University (Texas State) with a Bachelor of Science in Education. I hold certifications in Art all-level and General Education 1-8. I received several awards during my teaching career.  The awards I received are Teacher of the year for Lopez MS 2017-2018. Comal ISD, Teacher of the Year--1992-1993, Teacher of the month Comal ISD 1992, and Honorary lifetime PTA member 1999. You will find an article I wrote in the Arts and Activities magazine titled Jungle Batiks. I am a member of the Texas Art Educators Association. I have severed on several state committees.  I served as a consultant for the Texas Education Agency Fine Art -TEKS and on the Texas Education Agency State Textbook Committee. The teaching assignments and duties I hold on the Lopez campus are Department Chair Electives, Visual Arts Teacher, Peer Assistance Leaders (PALS) Teacher, Lead co-coordinator, and Web Page Coordinator.

I enjoy spending time with my daughters, quilting, and finding new inspiration for my art students.  My daughters are both graduates of Reagan HS and Lopez MS.  Kenlynn is a graduate from Oregon State with a BS in Wildlife Biology and Fishery. She is currently in graduate school studying genetic conservation.   Jamesynn (Jamie) is an Entrepreneur with a small business in  Austin called Tiny Tents. I am an artist who quilts all by hand and creates art using fibers.
