What does an art teacher do in the summer?

I look forward to summer every year. This is my chance to recharge, spend time with family and pursue my endeavors.

I love having time to paint! Below is my workspace that I share with my 6 year old son. As you can see it is light, and full of things I love such as, music, artists and color!





Each summer we travel! This year we went to South Carolina, specifically Hilton Head, Savannah, and Charleston. I love eating new foods, checking out the sights, and soaking in local culture.
Here are some highlights:
Boone Hall Plantation

Beaufort

Hilton Head Beach

Forsythe Park

The Garden of Good and Evil House

Dolphin Cruise




 I also love to spend time with my family exploring Denver and the surrounding areas. I get a lot of inspiration from the Denver Art Museum, the mountains and my own backyard!
Food Trucks at Civic Center Park. Yum!

Hiking in the mountains

These are all the reasons why I come back refreshed and ready to go back to school in the fall! What do you love to do in the summer? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
