Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
CHARLOTTE — Rachael A. Wilken, an art teacher in residence at Our Lady of the Assumption School, recently turned the school’s gym into an art gallery when she organized an art show celebrating students’ work and showcasing their various projects from throughout the school year.
During the art show, jazz played in the background while visitors consumed tasty treats and perused the different art media throughout the room.
As a second-year teacher, Wilken’s energy and love of art is manifested in her students’ work. She uses students, friends, family and great artists as the inspiration to motivate her, and her goal is to foster a lifelong love of not only learning but creating.
