Meet the Instructor:
Chloe is an interdisciplinary artist that received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design. Along with her education in studio art, she also had a focus in History of Art and Museum Studies which fueled her love for all things ancient. This interest was brought into her practice through a thesis on underrepresented characters of redemptive history. Her body of work is primarily created through abstraction, portraiture, and creative writing.
Chloe first discovered her passion for art education through her time as the A2AC Assistant Camp Director in 2023 and 2024. She currently teaches Printmaking classes and workshops for all ages at the A2AC. When she is not teaching classes, Chloe works with the A2AC as the Education Programs Manager.
