MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� The Department of Art & Design at 糖心logo入口 is pleased to welcome Shand Stamper for a lecture titled 鈥淚nspiring Success in AP Art Studio鈥� at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26 in the Price Doyle Fine Arts Center Room 623.

Stamper will give an insightful talk on guiding students through idea generation, creative development and achieving a passing score on the AP Art and Design Portfolio. Perfect for educators, artists and art entrepreneurs, attendees will learn strategies to inspire artistic growth and help young artists succeed. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Stamper is an artist and educator living in Lowertown Paducah, where she relocated after completing her Master of Fine Arts at East Carolina University in metalsmithing.

Stamper鈥檚 personal work as a metalsmith and jeweler is inspired by stories, mystery and old places. She creates objects and heirloom quality jewelry with a less mainstream taste that are both beautiful and deeply personal. She has taught metalsmithing at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Penland School of Craft, The Creative At Klondike, Ephemera Paducah and The Hattiesburg Arts Council. Her work has been exhibited in group shows both regionally and internationally. She and her husband, potter Mitch Kimball, operate S&M Studios together. Her work can be found locally at Bricolage Art Collective and stockists throughout the Southeast.

This is Stamper鈥檚 16th year as an art educator at McCracken County High School. As an artist and educator, she does the sensitive work of leading a group of young people, with mixed skill sets, toward a common goal. She sees facilitating her students鈥� artistic growth while simultaneously achieving professional quality, finished project outcomes as one of her crowning achievements as an artist. She teaches Art 1, Drawing 1, Advanced Drawing, Metalsmithing 1, Advanced Metalsmithing, Independent Study, Art 110 Dual Credit and AP Studio.

Part of her teaching practice is to build and enrich the community in her school through visual arts. She does this in the classes she teaches, her work as the National Art Honor Society sponsor and facilitating inclusive mural projects at her school.
