Katie McGowan is an energetic elementary art teacher who just wrapped up her 19th year of inspiring young artists. Known for her playful teaching style, Katie brings joy and curiosity into the classroom daily. Before moving to Colorado in 2011, Katie taught ECE through 12th-grade art for five years in the state of New York. She holds a BFA from Alfred University and a Master’s in Education from Walden University. In addition to teaching, Katie is the assistant director at a gymnastics camp in Vermont each summer. During the school year, she leads before-school programs through Centennial Clubs. When she’s not in the classroom or the gym, Katie can usually be found outside—running, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, snowboarding, or Nordic skiing. She also loves sewing, drawing, and soaking up as much sunshine as possible.
