How To: Connect Art Curriculum with Sustainability

Karen has been teaching primary and middle school boys for more than 20 years and has been a member of the Primary Arts Network committee for most of that time. The past 16 years were spent teaching at Brisbane Grammar School and now she works as a sculptural ceramicist/artist and self-employed Art educator.

Karen originally trained and worked as a secondary art teacher before completing a Graduate Diploma (Curriculum) and Masters Degree by research. These post graduate studies were undertaken in primary art education. As an artist, Karen uses a variety of hand building techniques to create sculptural ceramics that feature incised and stamped textures.  Much of her work is designed for the garden and is inspired by the natural environment.
