1. Life and Photos of and By: Lyssa Henrich

2. My name is Lyssa Henrich, I was born June 11, 1987 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am
currently going to school to become an Art teacher, K – 12. I love all forms of art,
specifically drawing, painting, photography, graphic arts, dance, theater, and
singing. My favorite day of the week changes depending on my work schedule, my
favorite number is 13. My favorite flower is the dandelion. I have no favorite color,
every color is equally amazing to me, except the color pink. I am not overly fond
of the color pink. I love all sorts of music and my favorite depends on my mood. If
I had to pick a favorite season it would be fall, the beautiful bright colors
everywhere and the perfect temperatures. My favorite holiday is Halloween and
that being said I love horror movies.
It’s My Life…

3. It’s My Life…
I am a child at heart and am bound to do at least one childish thing at least once a
week if not once a day. It keeps me happy and able to laugh at myself. I believe
that if you can’t laugh at yourself from time to time you are doomed to be an
unhappy person. I love to laugh, I love to burst out into random acts of dance and
song, and have a secret dream of marrying Willy Wonka, Gene Wilder not Johnny
Depp. I am stubborn. I come from a bad past that I will not let stop me from a great
future. I love a challenge, truth or dare is my favorite game, and I don’t deal well
with pessimistic people. All in all I try to be a positive person, and I am very open
about most things.

4. Hobbies…
I have many hobbies most of which are art related, the one most dominant
right now is photography. I have done senior photos, wedding photos,
and family/children photos ; I like to entertain the idea of taking up
photography as a side job later on down the line in life. Here are some
examples of some of the work I’ve done.

8. Professional Goals…
What When Where
Teaching Degree 2013 USD
I am currently working towards my Art Education Degree and hope to
have it completed within the next two and a half years.
Find Teaching Job 2013 - 2015 South Dakota or Iowa
I hope to be able to find a teaching job teaching K- 12 art within the first
two years, but hope to be able to substitute teach until then.
Open Studio 2025 - 2030 A city on the East
coast.
My partner and I would like to move to the East coast to raise our
children during this time I hope to own my own art studio to show my
work part time while still teaching K-12 art in a small town outside the
city.

9. In 10 Years…
Ten years from right now I hope to be jumping through leaf piles and
giggling joyfully while playing with my child or children, I expect my
wife to be sitting on our front porch steps shaking her head calling us in
to clean up before the Pizza Hut delivery person shows up. We will
have a nice relaxing family dinner and then huddle together on the sofa
with hot chocolate and popcorn to watch a movie before the kids go to
bed. After the kids are down, and the dinning room picked up, I will
settle down at the kitchen table to work on lesson plans for my
upcoming classes and she will head off to the study to work on
finishing writing her latest magazine article. We will head off to bed in a
few hours and release a happy sigh. We made it!
