Hello, my name is Daisy…
I graduated from the University of Vermont in May of 2022. I studied Art Education and Psychological Science.
Over the past four years, I have grown as an artist, educator, and leader in my community.
I am passionate about making and teaching art.
My major has enabled me to explore a number of artistic mediums, best practices in education, and important historical contexts while at UVM. My minor has provided me insight into how children and young adults develop and how to best support them in doing so.
My afternoons and summers have been chalked full of opportunities to gain hands on experiences.
I have been lucky enough to work with and learn from a number of incredible mentors all over Vermont. Getting to facilitate lessons for students of all ages and backgrounds has made me a versatile and confident instructor.
As for my future, I will continue seeking out and creating opportunities to instill my love of art in others.
I am excited to continue my journey as an artist, educator, and entrepreneur. I want to continue learning and bettering myself in these areas and others. Given the opportunity, I see myself being a source of support and guidance for the next generation of artists in the Vermont area.
