Hello!
Let me introduce myself...
I am Karen Swing, full time Art teacher at Selwyn Elementary School, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
This is my 7th year at Selwyn, and my 29th year of teaching Art, combined in Florida and North Carolina.
I have taught Art K-12th grades at a variety of schools- public, private and charter. My family moved to Charlotte from south Florida over 10 years ago, and now consider ourselves Charlotteans.
We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our beautiful Queen City!
I am happily married to Gary, a graphic designer and creative director for an ad agency. My son, Alex, is an artist and musician, graduated high school from Northwest School of the Arts, then App. State University, and is now living in Raleigh. We have two furry "sons," Scooter and Monty, our long-haired chihuahuas.
My hobbies include mixed media art, photography, music, and gardening. I enjoy going to art museums/galleries, festivals, concerts, Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, the mountains, bike riding, dancing, and trying new restaurants. Charlotte is a wonderful city, and I am enjoying all that it has to offer!
I especially enjoy teaching at Selwyn Elementary School, and constantly am amazed by our students' enthusiasm, good manners, hard work and talent!
