Welcome to the
Laurel Park Elementary Art studio
Hello! I'm Mrs. Benner, your art teacher at Laurel Park Elementary. I have been teaching art for over 20 years and have taught at every grade level. After graduating from Ohio State University, I began my teaching career in Cleveland, Ohio, then came to North Carolina where I taught in several schools. We moved to Dubai for three years where I taught K-12 art in international schools. Finally, we moved back to North Carolina, where I have been teaching for the past 7 years. In my free time I like to read, go to the beach and spend time with my two daughters and our sweet dog, Scarlet.
