Hello! I am Loretta Bradshaw, the art teacher. This is my fourteenth year teaching at Stinson, but both my children were Stars stars, so we have been part of the Stinson family since it opened. I have enjoyed teaching fourth grade and third grade, but the art room has my heart.  I have enjoyed my own part-time art business (since 2002), so it is great to teach art full time. Like many of you, I am a first generation American. As well, when my children were young, we lived in Australia, so I can relate to educating my children in a different environment from where I went to school. My wonderful husband is an engineer (opposites do attract) and my children successfully navigated Plano ISD and both graduated from OU. They are out on their own enjoying great careers. You may catch me walking our sweet dog Cooper around the neighborhood.

My favorite part about teaching is watching children trust their own creative process. It is exciting to see them become creative problem solvers and improve their art skills every year.
