After attending Catholic grade school and high school in Kansas City, Mrs. Needham graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education from Benedictine College in 2018. She began teaching K-8 art at Holy Trinity Catholic School in Kansas City before moving to Fort Collins in 2021.

“I am a joyful believer that the ability to create is a gift that unites us more deeply to our own creator. I have found that the art room is an exciting place to develop creative and artistic abilities, but above all, it is a wonderful place to encounter and more happily follow Christ.”

Some of Mrs. Needham’s favorite subjects to teach include ceramics, watercolor and art history. When she is not teaching or painting, she loves attending adoration, cooking spicy food and running with her family.
