Annette Houston
I  grew up in Waterville, child of French-Canadian second generation immigrants.  Majored in art at Colby College and sculpture at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture  through  scholarships and by earning the rest in the summers working in a library, as a hairdresser’s apprentice, a cook and a waitress.

I became a teacher after being married, living in Germany for three years  with my Air Force husband  and having two children there.  Had to pick up all the required courses along the way.  Still learning.

Professional goal : to make the Arts an important  part of  everyday life.  I  became an art teacher and then  a Gifted and Talented Program Coordinator because of my belief that everyone’s talents and gifts need to be recognized and developed  through education and life experience.

 

Spent over 45 years as an Educator in Arts and Gifted and Talented Education.
