Welcome to The Dusty Art Room! I teach 6th - 8th grade art and I believe in running an art room that students aren't afraid to get messy in! On most days you will find a trail of clay, plaster or chalk dust coming from my classroom.

Our Winter Artapalooza Session was a success, and we have lots of work to show off! Here's a small sampling... Check out the rest of the work at the Artapalooza Website.
One of my favorite times of year is the annual Illinois Art Education Association fall conference because I get to teach and learn with hundreds of art teachers from around the state.

I am lucky enough to have wonderful students at Hester who love to go above and beyond the call of duty. I co-sponsor yearbook club with Ms. Ryan and we have a wonderful committed group this year that is working on creating a FABULOUS yearbook. As our official yearbook photographer, Sebastian Portillo spent two games before winter break capturing these action-packed shots of the Hester Boys Basketball Team and I couldn't wait for the yearbook release to share these photos. Check it out! Thanks Sebastian for your awesome hard work!
The following is a slideshow put together to celebrate the 2014-2015 school year. I have also included pictures of our current students from the past several years, celebrating how much they have learned and grown! Enjoy!
