Please join us in welcoming Ms. Michelle Geiss to the district!
HI! I'm Michelle Geiss and I am the new Art teacher here at Lakeland. I am originally from Kansas City and went to Missouri State (SMSU back then) where I earned my B.S. Ed in Art Education. After graduating, I called Arizona home for almost 30 years. I taught Art for the last 8 years at Mesa Public Schools where I also developed a K-12 online art curriculum. Two years ago I followed my dream of buying a mini farm here in Missouri. Best move I've ever made!
My passion lies in sculpting (both welded recycled metal and ceramics), but I love dabbling in all mediums. Outside of art and teaching, I enjoy camping, off-roading, gardening and am a crazy chicken lady extraordinaire.
"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together"-Vincent Van Gogh. I believe this quote is true not only in art, but in all aspects of learning.
I'm looking forward to growing the Lakeland Art program and getting to know my new Lakeland family!
