✏️ Amanda Kazemi, MFA, PRO ARTIST AND EDUCATOR: Amanda is an experienced educator and practicing professional artist. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in fine art from San Diego State University and her state teaching credentials. She taught for four years in the San Diego Unified School District, working with students in grades 6-12. In 2021, She left to pursue her master’s degree at Laguna College of Art and Design. She will graduate with her MFA in in drawing in the Spring of 2023. She is passionate about the arts, particularly using simple tools like graphite and charcoal. Her work—displayed in a number of art exhibitions— is primarily in grayscale, but she is well-versed in color theory and painting in various mediums and substrates. While creating art is her idea of fun, she finds nothing more exciting than seeing young folks share the same sentiment. Creating art can be an incredibly rewarding tool to express yourself. She hopes to nurture that with the students in the classroom. One fun fact about her is that she is a huge animal lover and has three dogs. They have even made appearances in her artwork! She loves to draw inspiration from her surroundings and include them in her work.
