Art Teacher: ( instagram, teacher.kane)

I'm an art teacher. I wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. After teaching 9-12 grade art in the public school system for 8 years, I resigned, thinking that I was letting go of the Art Teacher title. However, I quickly realized that I missed teaching and that being a teacher is a part of who I am. I started teaching online and never stopped ( there were a few other steps, but this is the condensed version). Currently, I teach AP Drawing, AP 2D Design, and AP Art History online.

Book Lover, Author, Illustrator

I love to read about art, education, creativity, business, and productivity. Reading and taking notes are a part of my daily routine. In 2021 I started creating books with my brother, Ashely Sollenberger. I've always had a love for books, piles of paper, and teaching, so writing books brings a lot of my interests into one package.

Experiments with Marks, Materials, and Meaning

Director of K-12 Curriculum:

I work for The Art of Education University as the Director of K-12 Curriculum. Well-designed instructional materials promote student learning and support teachers by saving them time and giving them confidence in what and how they're teaching. I oversee the strategic vision, of the curriculum product, where we create lessons, resources, assessments, and videos.

Walker:

I love to walk. After moving to the city, I stopped biking, as walking seemed so much easier, parked my car and have gone through a lot of shoes. My preferred mode of transportation.... my feet. Walking also helps me to think, solve problems, and stay creative.

Animal mom:

Cute animals are the way to my heart. I have two Shiba Inu's that go on a lot of walks with me, and a cat.

Dreamer and Question Asker:

I like to dream big, ask hard questions and then try to solve them. I also love to ask other people questions, helping them to think deeper and develop their own answers. While I like finding answers, I don't like giving people answers.

Meeting Hater/ Action Taker:

If it can be sent in an email, email me, don't invite me to a meeting. If there's something to do, a task to check off of the list, I'm there.
