Ms. Ariana Brown

My name is Ariana Brown. I grew up with my grandparents in Rock Hill, SC and attended Winthrop University, graduating in 2016 with a BFA in fine arts with a focus in photography. My first job after college was teaching photography at The Light Factory of Charlotte. I became a long term elementary art substitute at Chester Park School of the Arts and fell in love with teaching. I worked an office job for 2 years before deciding to return to Winthrop to earn a Master’s of Art in Teaching.

Right now, I most enjoy metal-smithing and working in my sketchbook. I can be found most days spending time with my blind dog, Alice.
