Jesus Divine Mercy -                            My Favorite Picture !!!

Jesus Divine Mercy

Hi!  Mrs.  Gillispie here.  So, you want to know a little about me?  I enjoy teaching Architecture!  I also LOVE homeschooling (for 13 years now!),  taking care of my incredible husband and wonderful children, but mostly our daily prayers!  

I went to The Ohio State University and earned a Bachelor's of Science in Architecture.  I spent 2.5 years at Trinity Seminary working on a Master's of Theological Studies in Church Architecture.  I've worked as an architect  independently as "A.  Gillispie Design" and for others for about five years before my son was born, at which point I decided to leave the professional arena (although I have designed a few projects in the past fifteen years).

I've designed a few things that have been built: a church, houses, a horse farm, a hotel, among others, as well as many that have not been built (so typical for us ultra creative architects)!!  I also worked on a few other building types:  a courthouse, schools, retail stores, churches and office buildings.  

Competitive in the classroom and office settings, I enjoyed challenging those around me.  I've entered a few competitions.  I won one of them!!  

I worked my way through college entrenched in the field of photography, both taking pictures and developing them.  I was a church organist for 12+ years and spent many years in a dance company.  I also enjoy pets, skating, sewing and singing.   I love the ARTS!  I especially love using the Arts to bring Glory to Our Father in Heaven and showing others how to do so as well.
