Ann Kohl Re
I have been an artist and art educator for 30 years.
Within my 24 years of teaching in public and private schools as well as workshops and presentations, my students have ranged in age from 2 to 80. As an artist, my photography and mixed media work has appeared in group exhibits in Wisconsin. I have a small studio in my Madison home.
I have served as a docent at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art since 2008 and have helped train new classes of docents for the past 10 years. I have an endless passion for art and the courageous people who make it. In my roles as teacher, docent and leader I have always felt privileged to be connected to those who create art.
