MERCEDES DICKENS
Art has always been something that I am very passionate about! It’s a beautiful way to bring the world and emotions to life.
Entering college, I chose to pursue an art education degree so that I could teach art to others and help them grow their abilities. I soon realized that I wanted to teach art on my own terms, and really focus on helping people learn whichever specific form of art that they are passionate about. I went on to graduate from Midland University with a degree in Fine Arts, with a concentration in painting.
Since graduating, I have mainly worked on my paintings in my home. However, my most recent job at Valiant Studios has given me the opportunity to teach and make art with amazing and creative individuals! And now, as I teach visual arts here at The 402, I am excited to help others create works of art that allow them to be brave and experimental in a fun and inspiring environment.
I am looking forward to helping you grow in your artistic journey!
