She holds an Honours specialist in both Visual Arts and Technological Studies. Daphne has been a cross curricular head for the International Baccalaureate Programme at Glenforest since 2007 where she teaches IB Visual Arts (HL & SL) and Middle Years Visual Arts grade 9 and Design Grade 9. She is also an international visual arts examiner for the IB. She loves working with textile, mixed media, photography, graphic design, any digital photo editing program and most recently she has discovered watercolour. While her first love will always be architecture she loves teaching art, particularly contemporary art because of the ability of artists to use art to make sense of our World. She loves to explore the relationship between the artist, the artwork and the viewer. In the art room, every student is an artist.
