Melissa began working as a pARTners artist in 2002, merging her love of art making and teaching into an opportunity to excite and enlighten students to the idea that everyone is an artist, that art is everywhere and in everything we do. She has taught many of the pARTners integrated arts projects in K through 12 classrooms, including the Golden Rule Project, the Belief Project, Stained Glass Math, Historical Fiction Illustration, Obras De Artes and designed the Second Grade Journal project for their study of the animals of Jackson Hole. As a professional artist and teacher she is deeply committed to helping others discover their inner artist and understand how essential art is for creating balance and diversity in education, leading to innovation and awareness. As a board member she looks forward to using her insight and passion to support the mission and goals of pARTners. Melissa has been a professional artist for over 30 years and holds an Associate of Arts degree.
