Staff Biography

Feel free to call me Beth. I received a Bachelor of Fine Art from the College For Creative Studies and have been passionate about art my entire life. I have a loving and supportive husband who is a high school teacher and I have been blessed to be able to stay at home raising my 4 children, ages 14, 12, 10 and 7. When I was 18 I became a licensed cosmetologist and managed a hair salon while going to college and have kept up my license. I have been my oldest daughters Girl Scout Leader for the last 3 years and adore our troop. I enjoy photography, paper crafting, jewelry making and beading, however, I always have a creative project happening. During the summer we like to camp and work on our old house (which seems to be a never ending project). We are very active with our church and enjoy serving the Lord. I love performing random acts of kindness through sending out handmade greeting cards and "hiding" hand painted rocks. I am very excited to be sharing my passion of art with the students of Palaestra and my goal is for every student to feel accomplished and proud of their own masterpieces.
