CARA EPSTEIN
ART EDUCATION PORTFOLIO
About
I recently graduated from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University with a BFA in Glass, a teaching certificate in Art Education, and a minor in Art History. I currently live and work in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which tends to influence my creative energy. I've always had a love for art, but my passion for teaching started when I was traveling through Europe on a high school art trip. I was in such awe of every city and museum I entered, that those feelings and moments have stuck with me at every important turn in my life. I hope to inspire my future art students the same way my art teachers inspired me.
