Rina Norwood attended David Lipscomb University and is now currently taking classes toward her Interior Design degree at Central Piedmont Community College. She studied art at Watkins Art Institute of Nashville to pursue a career in the resurrected art of Decorative Painting. There, she trained as a Decorative Painter specializing in murals and the art of faux finishing. In 1994, she started Decorated Walls, a decorative paint finishing company. Her works have won awards with Southern Shows, and published in local papers. Rina served as an art teacher for two consecutive years at Huntersville Christian Academy. Currently, she serves the Charlotte area through Decorated Walls. She resides in Huntersville with her husband, Shan, and two boys, Caleb and Micah. This will be her 3rd year serving as LKNC's Art teacher. Mrs. Norwood enjoys teaching art because of the opportunity to inspire students to unleash their God given creative talents to bless others and bless our greatest and wonderful Creator, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Her favorite Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6
