Teacher in the Spotlight!

Linda Riddle

This past September I celebrated twenty years of teaching at Parents’ Place. It seems like only yesterday when I was a nervous new mom attending Gail Root's class with my busy one year-old son Christoph.  Now Christoph is 22 and graduating  from college in the spring! He'll be off to law school in the fall.     

 I earned my Bachelor of Arts in art education from the University of Texas and my Masters of Education at the University of Hawaii. Before moving to Pacific Grove in 1990, I taught elementary and high school art in Texas, Hawaii, Korea, Belgium and Germany. 

Having the opportunity to develop the "Young at Art" program at Parents' Place has been a highlight of my career. It is such a delight to be able to introduce young children and their parents to the joys of artistic exploration. Join me at the Friday art class to nurture your own inner artist and to expose your toddler to the wonderful world of art!
