Mrs. Amanda Kirkman teaches Art to grades 3-12 and Aesthetics in the secondary grades. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout earning two bachelor’s degrees in Art Education and Studio Art. Besides teaching at Geneva, she has prior teaching experience in Racine, WI, and Camas Valley, OR. What Amanda loves about teaching at Geneva is the privilege to disciple her students in their walk with the Lord while cultivating the affections to recognize truth, goodness, and beauty through observing and creating artwork as a reflection of our creator God. Amanda is married to Darin, the senior pastor at New Hope Evangelical Free Church and they have a son. Together, the Kirkmans enjoy running, outdoor recreation, and gardening.
