Hello!  My name is Heidi Posh.

 

I was a fortunate kid to have a worldly and crafty Mom who exposed me to art early on.  She often took me to gallery openings and museums, immersing me in a wide variety of art styles and techniques (and some pretty colorful people too).  She encouraged me to attend Cass Tech High School in Detroit, which was known to have a strong art department.  It truly was an amazing place with talented and dedicated teachers who prepared me for Wayne State University and a BFA in Sculpture.  After graduation, I got a job creating ceramic tiles for a custom tile company which I did for several years.  I then had the wonderful opportunity to work for the Michigan Thanksgiving Day Parade building floats.  This experience made me realized how much I enjoyed working with kids and I decided to go back to WSU to get my teaching degree.  Livonia Public Schools and Stevenson High School hired me and that was about 20 years and 6,000 students ago.  Whew!
