Ms. Ford’s Classroom

Bachelors of Fine Arts in Art Education from the Academy of Art University - School of Art Education

I became a member of the ALA family last year in 2020!  What a year to start a new chapter!

I love learning the different artistic strengths of all my students.  I also love sharing my love of art and photography and hope I can pass along some of my passion and excitement to them. 

Working at ALA is fantastic!  It feels like a family and everyone is incredibly supportive of one another.  ALA encourages and promotes the arts, which is a HUGE plus for me!  

In my spare time I like to hike, backpack, travel and create!  This year I traveled to Virginia, Texas, South Dakota (went to Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse), Florida and Belgium.  While in Belgium I was able to visit castles and cathedrals.  The highlight was visiting The Church of Our Lady, in Bruges, which houses a sculpture called Madonna and Child, by artist Michaelangelo.  This sculpture is marble and created in 1501-1504.       

MOTO:  Keep Creating!  Have Fun! Be Respectful!
