Art Instructor: Mollie Hoerres |
Hello, I’m Mollie! I have been an early childhood educator in Montpelier for many years. I am also a mixed media artist, writer, and photographer. I love color, texture, and getting my hands in my materials. I’m originally from Boston but my heart has always been in the country. For many years, I didn’t allow myself to create art because I didn’t feel I was a “good enough” artist. Over the years, I noticed how unsustainable that was and began making art again. I then brought my love of creating into the classroom in the hope that I could encourage young artists to believe in their own voices through making art and using their imaginations. I believe everyone is creative and can tap into their unique form of expression when inspired in a judgment free environment. I love that working with children is a reciprocal process and that I learn from them as much, if not more, than I can teach.

Art Instructor: Sean Sullivan
|
Sean is a passionate artist who has been working in childcare for the majority of his life. Sean’s an avid enthusiast of comics, and creates artwork in a very cartoonish style. While drawings are Sean’s forte, he’s worked in a variety of mediums and is happy to explore many more while teaching students about the endless world of art.
When it comes to education, Sean believes in building connections between himself and the students as a priority. Before anything can be taught, trust must be formed. Sean’s work at T.W. Wood Gallery, as well as Union Elementary School, has helped foster these connections with students, which he is proud to have. |
