Meet our Art Instructors
Kathleen Murray
Hi, my name is Kathleen. I am currently the Art Gallery of Algoma’s lead art instructor. I worked at the gallery a few years ago and I taught their summer art classes. Since then, I obtained my HBFA, BEd, and my MFA degree. I am an acrylic painter who is obsessed with painting Algoma’s natural world. You can see my artwork on my artist website: www.kathleenmurray.ca. I can not wait to teach you about artist techniques and art history, but most of all, having fun together making art! |
Audrey Grandinetti
Hello, my name is Audrey and I’m an art instructor at the Art Gallery of Algoma. I’m currently studying in the Creative Industries program at Ryerson University. I love artwork because I think it’s a powerful form of expression which gives us the ability to connect with others and tell stories. I’m a huge fan of pop art and experiential art, and I love to draw. I look forward to meeting you and am excited to create together! |
