Meet our Teachers
Felicia Cinquegrana Puckett
I received my BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a concentration in metal work and ceramics. I received my Masters of Art in Teaching from Rhode Island School of Design with a K-12 teaching certification. My passion is working with high need, and underserved populations, teaching the benefits of cultivating a creative practice in our lives.
I am a jeweler, sculptor and painter and Sound Therapy Practitioner. My work revolves around the natural world and our connection to it. My intention is to create work that connects the viewer or wearer to that part of themselves that is part of the whole, part of nature. This concept is reflected in my teaching. Technical skills and techniques are only part of being an artist, creating space for students to understand their practice as an outlet for self expression, meditation, and a coping mechanism is just as important. I can’t wait to share my art knowledge and this magical land with you!
