I wanted to take a moment to
introduce myself. My husband
Stephen and I moved to the Orange Grove area in November of 2012, when he was
called to Camp Zephyr as their Food and Retail Manager. With a one year old (Leigh) and a
Kindergartner, (Anna) it was my desire to begin my career as a stay at home
mom. I had worked for 10 years in
the public school classroom, teaching high school students Art. I worked with almost every media but
spent a large amount of time teaching Beginning art, Drawing and Ceramics. My main connection to the high school
art world has been, and continues to be, my involvement with a state level
Texas Art Educators Association art competition called V.A.S.E. (Visual Art
Scholastic Event). This will be my
sixth year as Regional Director for the South Texas Region.
The last five years of my teaching
career were spent in Rockport, Texas.
As a small artist’s colony, Rockport had many opportunities to serve
outside of school in the art community, many of which I have continued serving. I just completed my third summer
teaching “ArtLink, Art Camp for Kids and Teens” to second and third grade
students at the Rockport Center for the Arts. I also volunteer and chair the kid’s tent at the Rockport
Art Festival. I love art.
More importantly, I love Art Education.
I have had a hard time letting it go to stay at home full time. I am so thankful that Toni has given me
the opportunity to teach your students, in order that I might do what I truly
love and raise my children at the same time. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with
or if you ever have any questions.
I am looking forward to the year ahead!
Jody Summers
