Hello! Welcome to the art department! I'm Mrs. Singler and I invite you to explore the many different kinds of art classes offered here. Since classes are only one semester long, you are given some flexibility to fit art into your schedule. If you like to develop friendships with other art students, enter art contests, and learn more about art, then consider joining Rembrandt Society. Keep reading this page to learn more about the classes and myself. For information on the art club go to the Rembrandt Society page.

I live on a farm located on Illinois Route 16, halfway between Irving and Witt. I have one grown son, David Stark, who lives in Michigan. At home, I live with my husband, Randy, two daughters, Miranda and Shelley, and an Australian Shephard dog, Toby. When I find spare time, I like to paint, take photographs, sew, mess with computer arts, and snow ski. I attend St. Paul's Lutheran church.
