Welcome!

My name is Patrick Pollard. I am an artist, teacher, dad, and life-long Plum Islander. I have been making and exhibiting art my whole life.

I have also been TEACHING art for almost as long! I have taught students of all ages and abilities at camps, workshops, and classrooms. I have been a certified public school art teacher for 20 years. I have a BFA in painting from UMass Lowell and a Master’s degree in Art Education from Salem State University.

I love teaching art and I believe that all children can achieve creative success.
