Janice lives in Johnson City and recently retired after 25 years of teaching pre-K through 8^th grade. She received her BFA from ETSU where she acquired her certification for teaching art grades 1-12. She also received an elementary art certification from Milligan University. To her, teaching art has its advantages because it allows her to enjoy a variety of media as well as art history. She is especially fond of pottery, and at various times, enjoys hand building and throwing on the wheel. In her spare time, she likes to read and play cards and board games with her family—especially the grandkids!
