Mrs. Appel

Mrs. Appel loves teaching art at St. Patrick’s School and St. Mary School, Fishkill. She
believes that art making provides students an opportunity to create, communicate, and express themselves in ways that words cannot. She knows that there is an artist within us all and that the visual language of art is one we can all speak together.

When not teaching art, Mrs. Appel has been working as a licensed art therapist since
2001; working with adults and children with disabilities, seniors living in nursing homes, and private clients. She married her college sweetheart in 2000 and they have one daughter. She enjoys camping, mural painting, and carpentry.
