My name is Emily Curtin and I'm super excited to start my High School Art teaching journey with all of you. I actually went to plano schools from Wells, to Schimelpfenig, Jasper, and the PSHS. I then completed my Teaching certifciation through the University of North Texas. I have stayed local to the area and created my own small art business that I've explored for the last decade. I enjoy painting abstract under water acrylic canvas paintings but mostly my business creates custom pet portraits. I taught elementary SPED in DISD last year and still live in North Dallas. I'm married to another creative person, but his passion is vintage audio equipment and music. I have a 12 year old daughter in 6th grade in Dallas who also loves music & art, but she's also a math wizz. I volunteer with a boston terrier rescue group and have lots of rescue Frenchies at home. I love working out, sitting on my hammock with the dogs, painting, and watching reality tv.
