Teacher Spotlight - Brinda Pumphrey
Hello RMAE Community, my name is Brinda Lane-Pumphrey. This is my 12th year teaching art at RMAE. I love inspiring students to be artists and giving them a space where they can feel safe and have fun expressing themselves through art. I encourage them to be creative and unique in their art. Most of the projects I assign are open ended visual problems. This allows them to put their own spin on their work. I also teach students about art history. Sometimes they have really strong opinions about the art we look at. I love that! I want my students to be excited about making and talking about art. I love being surrounded by the creative energy of my students; sometimes it feels like creative chaos in my room!

When I am not at school I enjoy making my own art (mostly painting), camping, hiking, skiing, going to concerts, and gardening. I am a member of 40 West Arts, Foothills Art Center, and The Art Students League of Denver. I have shown my paintings in exhibits at all of the above as well as other galleries in the Denver area and the Summer Art Market. 

For years my daughters and I have challenged ourselves to make crazy complicated gingerbread houses including the Death Star, the Burrow, Hagrid's hut, the Jedi Temple… (yes there is a nerdy trend there). The “house” in the photo was made out of graham crackers instead of gingerbread and was in a Casa Bonita exhibit at NEXT Gallery. I am currently working on a large painting for next year's Casa Bonita exhibit because it is such a fun show to be in and attend.
