My name is Kelly Cabasso and I am an artist and an educator. I live on Long Island with my husband, two children, and our family dog. I am a high school art teacher who prides myself on harnessing creative freedom and voice while holding high expectations for technical skill from my students. I have experience with teaching a large variety of courses including Foundations in Art, Drawing and Painting, Interior Design, 35mm Film Photography, Digital Photography, College Level courses, AP Art, and Unified Art courses. I believe strongly in the power of connection and the importance of fostering relationships. By building an environment where everyone feels welcomed, valued, challenged, supported, and respected, creativity flourishes.
