Parents: An amazing way to support the art studio is by helping to source materials. Here is a link to an Amazon wishlist that students helped to curate. We also love donations of art materials, paper towels, broken-down cardboard, etc. If you think our artists could use it, reach out to me at mnichols@jcs-inc.org. Thank you!
I was born and raised in Carlsbad where my passion for art was fostered. My educational journey brought me to places like New York City, where I laid the foundation for my artistic pursuits at Pratt Institute. Then, I transferred to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, IL, where I worked to earn my Bachelor’s degree and teaching credential simultaneously.
Alongside my academic endeavors, I have also exhibited my own artwork in Encinitas, CA, and Chicago. I maintain my own artist practice in various media such as ceramics, fiber arts, painting, printmaking, and mixed media.
The opportunity to share my unwavering passion for creativity with eager minds brings me great joy. I am so grateful to be a part of an institution that values the importance of artistic expression and fosters an environment where students can explore their own artistic journeys!
