Hi Mary Lou - One of your instructors for the AP Studio Art Course. I have been with USC Upstate for 15 years and this is the 10 year instructing this course. My favorite artist is Chris Clark- who is a folk artist painting on quilts that he has made.
Hi! My name is Brittany Hallick, I teach at Conway High School in Conway SC. I have just completed my second year teaching at Conway! My favorite artist is Monet, I just love his use of color, texture, movement and his ability to capture light.
Hey! I'm Shelley. I have been teaching at Northwestern High School in Rock Hill, SC for 6 years. I love all the impressionism artists and it is my favorite movement to cover with my students. Teaching them about the history, use of light, and mark making techniques tends to be highly successful for them, so it becomes a favorite for them too!
Hey there. My name is Alicia Cobler (just officially changed my name this week since i got married and its still a little odd saying that ). I teach at Nation Ford High School and just finished my 6th year there and 7th year teaching. I have a bunch of favorite artist, currently I really like Flora Bowley and Bjorn Richter but my favorites are all ways changing. I like Bowley's art because of its free nature and use of color and am a fane of Richters art because of the messages he puts into it.
Hello. My name is Jentry Luse, and I have been at Myrtle Beach Middle for the past 3 years. I will be moving to Aynor this coming school year. I am very excited about the move. Sally Mann, Monet, Vincent van Gogh and Leonardo top my favorite artists. I love realism, and tend to lean towards photography and portraiture within my own work.
Hey! My name is Chris Meihls and I teach Art 2 and Ceramics 1 & 2 at JL Mann High School in Greenville. I have lots of favorite artists to include Kahlo, Basquiat, Kehinde Wiley and Jose Parla. I am in love with Tyrone Geter after viewing his exhibit during our Museum visit.
Hi! My name is Kelly Lucarelli and I recently earned my MAT in Art (K-12) from Winthrop. I'm super thrilled to start teaching art at Fort Mill High School beginning next school year. Previously, I worked as a graphic designer and also owned my own freelance design business for over 10 years. My favorite artist is Van Gogh because I love his use of color, passion for art, intriguing life story, and mark making. I was blown away by the work of Tyrone Geter during our first AP class.
Hello everyone! My name is Alisha Buoy, and I teach at Greer Middle in Greenville county. I want to start an honors art and hopefully teach at the high school level in a couple years. My favorite artist is Dali, along with impressionist artist and the Baroque period!
Hello! My name is Carly Saxon and I teach at Westwood High School in Richland Two school district. I am going to be teaching AP studio art this coming school year and I'm extremely excited! My favorite artists are Salvador Dali, Francis Bacon, Caravaggio and Francisco Goya.
Hello everyone! My name is Danielle Tavernier and I teach at Greenwood High School in Greenwood District 50. I teach 2D, Advanced 2D, 3D, Advanced 3D, Art History, and I will be adding AP studio art to my schedule this year! It can be absolutely CRAZY teaching this many different classes but it always keeps things exciting! Honestly, my favorite artist changes weekly with whoever I am teaching about in my classes. This helps my kiddos to keep an open mind about different artists!
Hi! My name is Hayden Oliver and I am the sole art teacher at Wren High School, which is actually the highschool I attended. I was fortunate enough to take AP Art my junior and senior year, and really look forward to be able to teach it next year! I graduated from Anderson University in 2015, and just completed my 2nd year of teaching...which means I get mistaken for a student constantly! I teach many sections of Art Foundations, Honors Art, Drawing 1 & 2 and Painting 1 & 2. I'm a huge fan of Alphonse Mucha, Chuck Close, and Dale Chihuly. I'm drawn to their use of color, abstraction, and focus on portraiture (well, not Chihuly!). I also admire artists who favor loose, gestural brushwork and impasto, as I enjoy painting in that style personally.
Hi, my name is Candy Cannon. Currently, I am teaching Art History and Appreciation at Piedmont Technical College, but I hope to transition to the high school level. My favorite artists are El Greco, Rembrandt, Oskar Kokoschka, Liza Lou, and Frida Kahlo.
Hi my name is Rhonda Thorpe and I teach 2d, adv 2d, 3d, and adv 3d at Emerald high school. WE just finished graduation today and I loved seeing my students walk across that stage. I just had a student win in the festival of Flowers art show. She placed second. My favorite artist is Deborah Butterfield.
Hello! I'm Stephanie Shank and I teach at Chapin High School in Chapin, SC. My schedule includes Design Foundations, an introductory studio art course, Photo One, Photo Two, Studio Concentrations in Photography, and I assist with our every growing AP class. I am looking forward to participating in this course to expand my knowledge of the Advanced Placement Studio Art programs. I am really enjoying Dorothea Lange right now and I am fascinated with how she captured the raw emotions of her subjects.
Hey everyone! My name is Justin Kelly, I teach at Luther Vaughan and Mary Bramlett Elementary schools in Cherokee County. I graduated from Limestone College with a BA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design, and got my MAT at Converse College in Art Edu. I specialize in Ceramics and Photography but tinker in about everything. My favorite artist currently is Beth Cavener. My current projects; building my own live-in studio. Nice to meet everyone!
I'm Deana Neibert and I was a drama teacher for 13 years and ran a children's theatre company for five years. I was born and lived in Oklahoma for 38 years before moving to Spartanburg, SC. I am pursuing a art ed certification in addition to the theatre certification I have held for 18 years. My favorite artist is Dali.
I started a blog years ago called the Progression of Marilyn that I never really used. I guess it's picking up that name because it's under the same profile.

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel Norsworthy and I teach at Eastside High School (where I also graduated in 2007!). I am a graduate of USC Upstate under the amazing Mary Lou Hightower! If I had to pick a favorite artist I would say Chuck Close, however I also love Van Gogh, Klimt, Monet......I could go on and on. I love so many artists for so many different reasons! I am looking forward to summer and having some time for myself and focusing on my own artistic endeavors!
