Passionate Artist, Art Teacher, and Art Advocate.

I aim to lead by example and teach everyone that art and creating is the most essential, human thing we can do as a species. We need it for expression, our mental health, creating connections with others, and the sheer joy of making something by our own invention.

Nora Jane Mason is an artist, art teacher and art advocate. She has taught every age from preschool to adult forms of visual, dance, music and performance art. She has always loved teaching since she was a teenaged counselor, and got that teaching bug early on, continuing teaching throughout her life since. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art and Design from Grand Valley State University with an emphasis in ceramic art and a teaching certificate. She sought to teach more broadly by gaining her Master of Education in Technology at California University of Pennsylvania (now PennWest) while living and teaching Design Technology in Vermont. She is teaching classes at various locations and continues to work to advocate for the arts in her community.
