Art Education

Temple McNeer has an extensive background in the arts and education, working for over 20 years with a dynamically diverse population of children and adolescents in both public and private schools. At the core of her philosophy is building relationships by listening, using humor and uplifting student voice. She deeply respects the individual and has a curiosity for what makes them unique. She is able to identify and communicate strengths, differentiate for individual students, and use effective interventions to create a strong foundation for growth. As a practicing visual artist, Temple understands first-hand how the process of art-making fosters experiences and skills that lead people to fulfilling and rewarding lives.

Note: My practice is rooted in my training and experience as an educator and an artist. I am not a licensed art therapist and do not practice art therapy.
