MY TEACHING
Art belongs in every life at every age!
Marty Ray - Professor Emerita of Art
North Lake College - 1978-2017
My teaching career at North Lake spanned 40 years as 3D Program Coordinator teaching 3D design, ceramics and sculpture. Amazing students of every age were in my classes. My "work" as teacher, mentor and friend to students brought the greatest joy to my life.
Summer of 2017 ceramic students installed a trio of Texas Totems near the T Bldg and the lake.

Art is for EVERY age. In 2017 (after retiring from college teaching, I began teaching "seniors"
at a Dallas Senior Living Center. Art projects included collage, geli printing, painting,
ceramic jewelry & sculpture. These "young at heart" artists were a thrill to work with until classes were stopped due to the Covid pandemic in 2020.
