Welcome! My name is Mariel Degli Esposti, and I am very excited to be teaching Art 1, Pre AP, AP Art 3-D, and Sculpture 2 and 3 for the 2019-2020 school year!

Growing-up in Oregon, there was never a doubt in my mind that I would pursue the Arts. I was always in studio art in High School and in College. After studying abroad for a year in France, I eventually went on to get a B.A. in Art History at the University of Oregon. After college I moved to New York City and worked in Art Consulting, Art Galleries, and Arts Administration. My experiences working in Art Education at Socrates Sculpture Park, are what led me to art teaching. I went on to get my Masters in Teaching Art from Pacific University.

I have had the pleasure of teaching Art in Texas for the last 10 years. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, soccer, making art, concerts, and time with friends and family. I am very passionate about teaching art, creative practice, and creating art! I am looking forward to a great year, and I am excited to be an Oiler!
