When did you know you wanted to be an art educator? and why?
I’ve always thought about teaching, pretty much since I was in middle school. But what really got me thinking about Art Ed was a class at tech. I took this art appreciation class and we watched a video on 21st century artist. I saw all of these artist living their lives in their studios. And it hit me in class one day that I would never be happy unless i was doing the same. I really needed to pursue a career in art, and Education seemed like the best logical choice and the most enjoyable. I love kids and art got me through high school, so i’d like to pay it forward i guess.
