Back to school
Agreeing to substitute as the art teacher at Rappahannock County High School, Leonard made a very important discovery about herself.
“I realized that even if I had all the time in the world to paint, I would still want to take a little of it to teach.” Leonard is currently going back to school and her end goal is to become a certified teacher. Her wish is to teach art and she said, “art can be so healing and in high school life can be very rocky. It is great when you can give a child a tool to make life easier.”
Leonard currently assists the art teacher at Rappahannock Elementary School, Harriett Rosenblatt, with special art projects. “I have so much fun collaborating and brainstorming with her,” said Leonard.
Leonard’s background is steeped in art. She attended the Art Students League in grade 6 and by grade nine, Leonard’s school allowed her to major in art. She also took many private lessons. Two years after graduating from high school Leonard attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, majoring in fine arts/painting. Twenty-five years of residency and three daughters have made Leonard an invested part of the Rappahannock community.
Those interested in Leonard’s work should be sure to visit the Rappahannock County Library where her work will be on display during March.
