Abstract: This paper explores one artist/teacher’s experience in the
journey to arts education. In navigating multiple identities, the author
explores and gives voice to the loss and gain of considering self as artist and
teacher, and the freedom necessary to linger within those experiences. It is
this contact with our own storied lives that leads to a greater understanding
of self and allows us to be in correspondence with others, teaching and living
more effectively. Here, the author allows herself the space to question, to
linger, and to remember the stories that have led to more whole consideration
of self as learner, teacher, artist, and researcher; inviting the reader to do
the same.
