Heather Dixon To All Instructors

Heather Dixon, MA

My name is Heather Dixon and I am blessed and thrilled to be involved for the Plumbline 24-25 school year! Since a very young age my heart has always gravitated towards art and the beauty of Gods creation. I currently reside in Berryville with my husband, my son Liam and two daughters Claire and Ava. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts (with a concentration in Illustration and Graphic Design) from Shepherd University and a Masters of the Arts in Teaching Art k-12 from Mount St. Mary’s University. Previous to teaching I was employed as a graphic illustrator for a design company. I also enjoyed working as a production silversmith for a local artisan jeweler and did various freelance work. I then decided I wanted to teach art and became a teacher for FCPS in Md. I have experience teaching middle school art and high school ceramics. I then taught Middle school Life Skills (continuing my love of art through sewing and culinary arts) until I had my second baby and decided I wanted to be a stay at home Mom. Since then I have been homeschooling my three kiddos for the past 5 years. For me art is fused into everything and can be utilized in so many different forms but it is important to have a strong foundation and understanding of art principles and techniques. It is my joy to have an opportunity to equip others with the knowledge and skills to create and appreciate Art.
