Hi! I’m Beth Cherico and I’m thrilled to be the art/technology teacher at St. James. I have been teaching art for more than twenty years at schools and not-for-profits including St. Patrick’s in Bedford, New York, and St. Mary’s in Ridgefield. I also run my own business teaching art enrichment and hosting art parties. It’s called Pie in the Sky, LLC. I hold degrees from the University of South Florida and the School of Visual Arts.

Watching children develop originality is inspiring and it’s a privilege to introduce them to the wonders of art history, new mediums, and original techniques. This year at the elementary level we will explore drawing, painting, printing, sculpting, and mixed media. In Middle School, we will creatively problem solve using technology and recycled materials in our maker space.

A little about me - I have two college-age sons who are my heart and soul, I’m an avid rackets player, reader, and taster of many cuisines. My favorite artist is Clyfford Still!
