My name is Kat Crowner, and I'm honored to teach art at St. Bernadette's. I have an MA in Art Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a BA from The University of Pennsylvania. I've lead and been involved in community art experiences as my own kids were growing up. I also spent many years in Marketing and Advertising before returning to art education. Throughout my business experience, I attributed my ability to come up with multiple solutions to my art education. I believe that children will benefit from an arts education regardless of what paths they take in their future.
