My name is Taylor Nicole.I am an art educator by day, and work in a local bicycle shop by night.
Sharing life with My love and Our Squids brings the utmost joy to my heart.
Authentic relationships with friends and family, reading, playing the ukulele & piano, bicycling, artmaking, photographing, drinking tea & coffee, cooking & baking, learning, traveling & exploring, rock climbing, adopting plantbabies, being outside, turning on the record player, taking walks, feeling the sun warm my skin • • •
The human experience is so sacred and beautiful ;
My Creator so lovingly experiences l i f e with people, and I want to do the same. ••
I graduated Summa Cum Laude in 3 years with a B.A. in Fine Arts and Art Education with a focus in Intercultural Education. I adventured out to live and teach secondary school art classes in Castleknock, Ireland and returned to Ohio to teach design and photography to high school students. Currently, I teach art at an urban, low-income, culturally diverse Ohio charter school with Kindergarten - 8th grade students. My goal is to build authentic relationships with students, and establish a safe and transparent environment for everyone to take creative risks and grow as a whole and unique individual. Art class is a wonderful place to start!
