I have been painting and making art all my life, and took to Art Education shortly after graduating highschool. I am a creative person at heart and often enjoy fashion, videography, and interior design, and would love to incorporate these more into the mainstream art education one might see in public schooling.

Agnes Robinson
Agnes Robinson spent the majority of her formative years growing up on an island off the coast of Maine. She graduated from the University of Maine-Farmington in 2003 with a degree in elementary education and a concentration in mathematics. She worked several years in the Ellsworth School system and then became a stay-at-home mother. When her children started school she began to work part-time as a stained glass mosaic artist. Her growth and success as a glass artist motivated her to pursue art as a full-time career option. She is now employed as a middle school math teacher at Dedham School and is working nights and summers to complete her art endorsement. Her passion is art and she cannot wait to share that love with her future art students!
