A Little About Me!

Dear HFE people,

I was born in South Korea and immigrated to America when I was 4 years old with my family. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Georgia State University in with a Bachelors of Fine Art in Art Education, and Summa Cum Laude from Georgia State University in 2010 with a Masters of Art Education. I have been teaching in Fulton County since 2004. Before I came to Heards Ferry Elementary in 2017, I taught art at Manning Oaks Elementary since 2006 and taught art as an itinerant teacher since 2004. I love the warm and supportive family I have made at HFE, and I am proud of the students who show me everyday how Art touches their lives and impacts their learning. Some artists who have inspired me are Rene Magrite, Georgia O’Keeffe, Gerhard Richter, Ed Ruscha, Caspar David Friedrich, Andy Warhol, and all of my art teachers.

I have a wonderful husband who is a graphic designer and three crazy kitties. In addition to teaching and making art, I love traveling, enjoying nature walks, watching period-piece dramas, and gardening.

Can't wait to meet you and have art with you!

Love, Mrs. Strom

Fun Photos

My fur babies

Meet my kitties, Ollie (named after a skateboard trick) and Gandalf (yes, he's named after Gandalf the Grey)! We also have Monty, but he's camera shy.

I LOVE art museums!

Sometimes, I also like to mimic some of my fave artworks in museums! This is me at National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

My favorite hobbies

Of course, I love to paint and draw, but I also love to garden. Here's a painting I did of a cherry blossom!
