Ms. Senior Alaska, Charlotte Werner Ambrose CONGRATULATIONS to CHARLOTTE WERNER AMBROSE, Ms Alaska Senior America 2016!

Charlotte is celebrating 60 years of marriage to Thomas Ambrose, and has devoted her life to promote, enhance, empower and reveal the artistic consciousness to all who cross her path. She views the universe as her classroom with nature providing her with a colorful palette. During her 27 and a half year professional art instructor career she has touched the lives and held the hands and hearts of 6,000+ public school children in Indiana, California and Michigan. Emerging from a welfare and single parent environment, Charlotte proved her industriousness by starting a sign business in her freshman year of high school. She became the first in her family to attend college with multiple scholarships and in 1957 she graduated from Wayne State University earning a B.S. Art Education degree. Charlotte continued her formal education at Purdue and the University of Michigan obtaining her Master�s degree while balancing her children�s needs and teaching career. Charlotte�s teaching awards include National Art Educator of the Year 1985 from the NAEA; Michigan Art Educator of the Year 1984 from the MAEA; Teacher of the Year 1978 from the Sparta Education Association; Outstanding Secondary Teacher 1974 from the MAEA, and United Teachers of North Kent Distinguished Service Award, 1974.

Wishing to encourage confidence and inspire novice art teachers, she co-authored a book. "How to Teach SMART Anyway.� Her 10,000 plus hours of volunteer service included a myriad of organizations. The Kent County Rotary International honored her as the first woman president in Kent County. The National Teachers Hall of Fame honored her in 1988 with a Certificate of Recognition. Charlotte was a Teacher in Space applicant and in 1988, NASA considered her for an artisitic commission. In August of 1999, the City of Wyoming, Michigan, honored her as one of ten women who made a significant contribution to the city over the last 40 years. That same year Alpine Township also adopted a resolution to salute her leadership and community service.

As a practicing artist, Charlotte received 150 first place awards in California, Indiana and Michigan. Charlotte is currently producing and demonstrating art lessons on public television.

She understands the real meaning of success stating that encouragement of others, thereby improving their self-esteem, is a priceless gift for her and the recipient. She is grateful for her mentors living long enough to pass the torch of inspiration. Life is a JOY!
