welcome to paintbrush rocket

Welcome Teachers, Students and Creativity Seekers! For 19 years, I have had the pleasure of inspiring creativity & building creative confidence in my 5- 12 year old students as an Art Teacher. Over the years, it has become clear that CREATIVITY transcends intelligence. Our future inventors, scientists and entrepreneurs are born in the art room. Playful experimentation with art materials and testing the limits of their possibilities ignites creativity and innovative thinking. Paintbrushes and Rockets have a lot in common… they both are vehicles for discovery!
