AMY NORROD
Amy Norrod was born in Dayton, Ohio, and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus on two-dimensional studies from Bowling Green State University. She moved to the Boston area in 2020 to continue her career in teaching Art at Wellan Montessori School in Newton, MA. Amy considers herself as an “Artist-Teacher.” To her, the titles of “Artist” and “Teacher” are not two separate identities but are intertwined as one that influence one another. She primarily works in drawing and painting, but also loves to experiment in other mediums like fiber arts, printmaking, and ceramics.
