Being born and raised in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, I established great rapport with the students that I took under my wing. After earning my Bachelor of Arts in Art Education and a Bachelor of Science in Design from Texas Woman's University, I realized the importance of bringing back that education to my community. Acquiring over 200 hours of Advanced Placement Studio Art hours at University of Texas throughout the state of Texas, I continuously brought and incorporated new education to my students’ curriculum. The incorporation of this education awarded my students' recognition not only at local, regional, congressional, state and national level, but global recognition. My students' works have been displayed in 29 embassies thorough out the world.
Formerly Advanced Placement Art Instructor and Fine Art Department Chair at Harlingen High School, I bring a wealth of Visual Arts experience. I founded Advanced Placement Drawing, 2-D and 3-D Studio Art classes at Harlingen High School. Students' portfolios overall rated above national level and earning college credit which would jump start students at sophomore or even junior levels in college. With these portfolio achievements, my students currently attend or attended universities such Art Institute of Houston, Stanford University, Pratt, University of North Texas, Colorado, Chicago Art Institute and others. Tracking these students, I have found them to be contributors of their visual arts education as teachers, graphic designers, art historians, artists exhibiting internationally, comic character design and more.
As the director of the Art Association at Harlingen High School I instrumentally opened great opportunities for students. Students were exposed to furthering their education with introduction of several universities, and museums, such as Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, Kimbal , San Antonio Museum and others. Members of the association attended artists' seminars and workshops which greatly influenced the students in expanding their own art relationships.
COMMON GOAL of RGV Art Studio experience will be one of finding successful individual art paths. Students will be exposed to the Elements of Art, Principles of Arts, Art History, Color Theory, Media Study, Composition, Light Study, Blending, Perspective and other aspects along with combination of student interest.
