Ms. Bessett ART TEACHER K-5

I have been a teacher for 32 years and an art teacher at Williamstown for 23 of those.  I graduated from St. Michaels College. I received my Master's Degree from SNHU. 

Personally, I am a photographer and a painter and do a variety of shows in this area.

I live with my partner in East Montpelier, we love spending time with our 5 kids and 4 grandchildren!

During my spare time, I like to hike, kayak, and do yoga.

As a teacher, I have a passion to teach children to appreciate art by observing their environment, understanding the basic elements of art, and applying them to their art projects. Students learn the history of popular artists and their styles.
