Mrs. Underhill

Welcome to Art!  I teach high school art.  I have been teaching at Pierz High School since 2010. I grew up in Red Wing, Minnesota and attended college at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN.  I graduated in 2002 with a degree in Art Education and German (Sprechen Sie Deutsch?).  Prior to teaching in Pierz, I taught art for Milaca Public Schools for five years.  I live in Rice with my husband, Jay, and my children, Mark and Ali.
I enjoy swimming, practicing and learning about the art of henna, traveling, creating art, and learning about artists and art history. My favorite artist is Vincent van Gogh and my favorite medium is printmaking.  I like teaching art because I get to do my favorite thing all day long - make art!
