Welcome to my teacher page! I'm the art teacher for School 48@MLK. I love teaching elementary art! In addition to working as an art teacher at school, I am on the Buffalo Public Schools Art Curriculum Committee. My speciality is combining visual arts lessons with standards from the core subject areas, particularly science and social studies. 

For all current "learning from home art lessons" scroll down this page or click here: My Resources
