Hi there,
I am Kelli Jarasitis and I'm so excited to teach ART here at the OMS. I have been a freelance artist for over 25 years, specializing in portraiture. I have three children with my husband Jeff and I have a new puppy named Lola.
I studied art at Parsons School of Design in NYC. Have you seen Project Runway? That's where it takes place! I received my Bachelor's degree in Art Education from Bridgewater State University and a Master's degree in Art Education from Boston University. I now also teach part-time at Bridgewater State University.
I enjoy spending time at the beach with my family and friends, cooking, reading, and of course MAKING ART!! I love to paint and draw. I practice all the time!! Besides being an art teacher I am a working artist, my commissions are mostly pet portraits!
Art is for EVERYONE, try to make something everyday!!!
​Some of my personal artwork is displayed below...
