Hi, I'm Anna! I make art and also teach it sometimes.

I'm from West Columbia, SC, and in 2019 I earned my BFA in film production with a concentration in animation from the UNC School of the Arts. After working for a couple of years, I decided to go back to school, and this time a little closer to home. I now attend the University of South Carolina, and will graduate with my MAT in art education in December of 2023. 

Honestly, I never enjoyed school as a kid. What we learned in the classroom seemed to have little relevance to my life outside of school, and I wasn't able to explore my own interests. I believe that a genuine love for learning can only stem from intrinsic motivation, and that it is the responsibility of teachers to foster this curiosity in their students. The art classroom provides a unique opportunity for teachers to encourage students to explore their own interests, experiment with new modes of creation, and build connections between school and their personal lives.
