Hi, my name is Larissa Rentz and I am the Art Teacher at Holy Trinity. Art has always been a passion of mine and I am truly excited to share it with my students. I believe that artistic expression and exploration are extremely valuable in education. Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." I hope that through their experiences in art at Holy Trinity my students will gain a lifelong appreciation for art.

In addition to teaching Art, I will also be working in the Pre-Kindergarten program. I am excited to be part of the Pre-Kindergarten team and look forward to a great year!
