Teachers will return home with a minimum of 8 exciting projects.

Joyce V. Campbell

Home is where the heart is…

Joyce was born and raised in Manitoba. She graduated from a Catholic high school in Calgary in 1975. In 1995 Joyce earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Victoria and continued there a few years later receiving her professional teaching certification in 1999. As of May 2010, Joyce will hold a Master of Arts in Leadership. Currently, Joyce teaches Visual Arts to high school students in Quesnel.

In 1987, Joyce participated in the Port Alberni Pacific Region Art Council receiving Honorable Mention for Cedar Weaving Doll Cloths.  While studying in Port Alberni in 1993 and 1994, Joyce received 2 Academic Achievement Scholarships from Waywayseecappo Education Authority. In 1995 and 1997 she was recognized for her Black and White Photography and Printmaking. In addition, Joyce received the Community Arts Council of the Alberni Valley Bursary from North Island College in 1991 and 1992.

Marguerite Hall

Marguerite is a long-time resident of the Cariboo.  She lived in Wells for 13 years and currently makes her home in Quesnel, where she teaches elementary school.  Over the years Marguerite has taught art to students in grades 2 to 7.  Stated simply, art is her favourite subject! Her students have completed projects using pencil, pen, charcoal, pastel, pencil crayon, acrylics, collage and papier maché. Her philosophy is “there’s an artist in every child”.

Marguerite fills her free time with a variety of artistic pursuits.  At the top of her list is stained glass, but she also draws, sews, paints and does woodwork and calligraphy.  She loves the creative process and is excited to be able to share her passion with fellow teachers.
