CV
EDUCATION
Ms. Bartsch has exhibited artwork all along the east coast. Her recent specialty is curation, teaching, and private critiques.
SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO
2017 - 2020
SAIC offers a Low-Res MFA program where the student is in residence for 6 weeks during the summer. The rest of the semester courses are taken online. My original goal was to double major in Fine Art and Art Therapy. During COVID quarantine in 2020 I realized that I didn't want to take anymore time away from being an Art Therapist.
SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN
2009 - 2015
During undergraduate SCAD in Savanna, GA I had difficulties deciding if I wanted to major in Preforming Arts or painting. It wasn't until I learned that I wanted to become an Art Therapist that I settled into painting, and minored in performing arts.
