A Note From Ms. Stone:
My life as an artist has taken me many interesting places and I have loved every minute of each experience. I had no idea when I set out on my artistic journey that teaching would become such a large part of my life. I discovered my love of art went much further than just my studio, it reached out into the world through my teaching as well. My own insatiable appetite for learning art history, theory, philosophy, process, and technique contributed greatly to my practices as a teacher.
A Quick Timeline:
I began teaching small classes and art camps at my local art centers when I was fresh out of high school and all through college. I enjoyed a teaching assistantship in graduate school and was so excited to get up and go to class everyday. I taught all around the state of South Carolina through the Artist in Education Program. Then fresh out of graduate school I joined the PACE program and became a certified teacher in Art Education. I worked in the classroom for 3 years, and being an art teacher was a wonderful experience for me. I loved working with my students, getting to know them and watching them grow.
Now I find myself back in the studio and teaching part time as an adjunct professor and part time 5k-5th grade elementary art teacher.
I also spend some time completing artist residencies in local school districts around the upstate.
