I moved to Seattle in 2018 to start my career as a high school art teacher. Midway through my second year teaching the pandemic hit and all of a sudden, everything I knew about public education was thrown out the window. After almost two years of trying to teach via zoom, we finally returned to the classroom. I was so optimistic about finally providing a studio space for my students again. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite the triumphant return we were all hoping for.
