Gaylen’s passion for art came at an early age. Born into an artistic family, her childhood was spent in her father’s art studio, with an unlimited supply of paint, brushes and paper. She was inspired by the local artists that traveled in and out of the studio, and learned many skills by watching them paint. Gaylen went on to study art throughout college, and continues to learn through workshops offered by local artists. After serving as a kindergarten assistant at Journey School for several years, Gaylen was invited to lead the Visual Arts classes for the middle school grades. She served in this capacity for six years, before taking a position on the school’s administrative support team. Today, she is proud to be part of Journey School’s Waldorf Teacher Training Program, and mentors teachers as needed throughout the school year. Gaylen is a member of LOCA Arts Education, and is the proud parent of two Journey School graduates.
