Welcome to the School Year 2012-2013

Welcome Back Everyone

Hohenzollern Castle. Burg Hohenzollern, Germany.

Over the Summer I was able to travel with my son to visit my brother and his family in Germany while my husband stayed home and worked. We had a great time in Paris and Vienna as well. I was inspired by this trip as it was full of art opportunities that I brought back to share with Carpenter Students.

I took a lot of photographs as I have a BFA in Photography from the University of Michigan. The main point of the photographs is to show what I use as inspiration for my projects. Please enjoy.
