After 13 amazing years in Howard County Public Schools, I took a leave of absence to pursue my Masters in Fine Arts at the Pacific Northwest College of Art. It was a bittersweet day. My career had been good to me, and I always thought when I retired I would go back to school, but the time came sooner than I had planned for. Although sad to leave my community, I was more than excited to travel, make art, and to make my place in the art world. An adventure has begun!
My classroom on my last day in Howard County. Bittersweet.
