I feel every child deserves to express themselves through art in an uncritical and nurturing environment. I have found that a variety of mediums (materials) and projects allow the children to find their niche in art. There seems to be a project for everyone.
Studies have shown that children who are exposed to the arts through information and hands-on experiences have higher IQs and are more confident in their school work in other subjects. As a parent, ask your child if they enjoy art at Pomelo. You might be surprised by their enthusiasm…
I have a Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree from USC with an emphasis in 2 dimensional art and a minor in art history. I have a Master's of Fine Arts degree from USC in 2 dimensional art with an emphasis in watercolor and lithography.
I have taught children at Pomelo art at every grade level for 25 years. Prior to this I ran a successful mural painting business (still do) and a needlepoint design business for 7 years.

After receiving my Bachelor's Degree in Art, I had the distinctive pleasure of teaching art for more than two decades to thousands of children at Pomelo Community Charter School.
Over the years I have co-chaired different PTA committees for my children and yours, always aspiring to do what I can to improve our community. I’ve pestered hundreds of you to donate Holiday toys to the Children of Child-help USA and in the past year I have established a charity called the Sunshine Club to help the less fortunate in West Hills and surrounding communities by donating household items, non perishable food and toiletries and used clothing to different food banks and organizations.
We Need You!
