Mary Nash grew up in NJ in the larger NYC metro area. She received her BFA in Communication Design: Illustration from Pratt Institute.

For the past 10 years, she has worked as a designer in the animation industry.

Her goal with teaching is to connect children with the art behind their favorite media, how art connects them to themselves and the larger world, and how to find joy in creating!

In her own time, she enjoys sewing, knitting, and gardening.
