About Me

My photo
Helen Read
Art is fun! I've always enjoyed making things ... creating ... all things art! I went to Wheaton College (IL) where I received a B.A. in fine art. Then later, after doing a Masters in Teaching at National-Louis University, I began to teach art at the high school level. I currently teach art, am a parent, am an daily painter, and am active in my church. Life manages to stay pretty busy!
