Artist Statement
Geralyn (Geri) Ostrander Ham, born and raised in rural South Dakota. I graduated from SDSU with an Art Education major and began my teaching career teaching High School Art in South Dakota. I relocated to the west coast where I worked in Early Childhood Education while raising my family. In 2002 I began teaching Elementary Art at Harrah Elementary. Sixteen years of encouraging students to create was a pleasure. During this time, I created engaging Art lessons for students that included the elements of Art and principles of design. We used a variety of materials as well as creating both two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks. I retired in 2018, which leaves me more time to create. I enjoy using watercolor, printmaking, pastels, mixed media and creating hand-built clay projects. My lifelong passion for Visual Art has provided me with a deep appreciation for the creative process.
