Artist/Researcher/TeacherMy name is Stephanie Baer and I am a professor of art education and art teacher. I love my work. I love that I get to be part of evolving conversations that have been going on since the beginning of time - that of the arts and learning. My interest is where these concepts merge. And they do. Everywhere.

Dr. Baer at TEDx: Fear is an ever-present element in the experience of teaching and learning - specifically in the arts. 'I can't draw...I'm just not that creative....I only draw stick-figures..." What if we could enable our students (and our future teachers) to deliberately confront fear and work with it? |

I am an artist/researcher/teacher. I have been in practice my entire life. Degrees and certifications have been earned along the way, but I am always learning and re-learning, and adjusting to what it means to be an artist, a researcher, and a teacher. In no particular order, these identities define my work and my view of life. I am not one without the other - they work fluidly to inform one another.
