New Teacher

I started teaching in September in a middle school and an intermediate school (4th and 5th grade). I teach one 4th grade class, six 5th grade classes, two 6th, two 7th, and two 8th. And I have two classrooms to manage...one at each school. They are both new and huge and they both have a kiln!
I'm hoping to set up a blog for each school soon too!

It's been a lazy summer so far

Experimental Illustration: Pheonix

So, my artwork didn't make the cover. I think it's a little too dark
for the Pheonix, but here it is on their website:

Of course, I feel really awesome about all the work I'm putting on the web because of a talk about the Ophan works bill yesterday. http://orphanworks.blogspot.com/

Degree Project finished spreads

Unfortunately, due to my lost/stolen camera there are no pictures of
my degree project pieces framed or my book from the gallery show. Here
is a scan of the cover though.
