Being an artist and a teacher can be grueling work. This website includes the stories, themes, and advice from six artist teachers. Each of them has a different approach to teaching and each of them pursue their artistic passions in different ways. Find out how they use their artwork to connect with students, support their families, and keep their creative juices flowing. I hope this website will inspire you to make more artwork, connect you with other artist teachers, and support you with ideas for your own studio/classroom.
