Guest Presenters 

Jo Kapell, MFA

Jo received her MFA in Fine Art from Pratt Institute in NYC. She went on to teach painting, drawing, two dimensional design and Art History at several colleges in the New York area. In the early '80's she became one of the first artists to make the jump from traditional media to computer graphics. She has worked for Jim Henson, Children's Television Workshop, AT&T and Microsoft creating interactive media. She never lost her love of 'hands on' materials or her love for teaching. The process of creating imagery through drawing, painting, photography and mixed media is inherently healing. Jo believes that all art is play; and that all of us have the ability to join the game.
