Instructor Biography - Janelle K.

Janelle Kamerman is the mom of two girls and one sweet baby boy. She and her husband moved to New Hampshire from Arizona. Both she and her husband were raised in the southwest and have enjoyed learning about life (and snow!) in New England.

 As a child Janelle was always found coloring, drawing or learning a new craft. After high school she went to a small liberal arts college in Michigan where she studied Art and Art History. She earned her BFA degree with a professional studies concentration in teaching. During her college years she had the privilege of spending a semester on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico studying Native American art and culture and student teaching. She also spent a month studying art history in Peru. These experiences brought on a new appreciation for art and culture.

After college she moved to Phoenix, Arizona where she taught art to grades one through eight. She enjoyed the daily interaction with the students, encouraging their creativity and artistic abilities. She is excited to teach in the classroom setting again and is looking forward to another exciting year of learning about the historic art of the world.
