COMMUNITY FOCUS: Ryan Trott
HE IS: an artist, musician, educator, and dad. It’s apt that the maker whose earliest creations included drawings of ninja turtles and original comic books now encourages the free and creative expression of elementary school students every day.
HIS WORK INSPIRES: a playful nostalgia and appreciation of both the simple and lovely that encompasses daily life. Take a peek at his mural in the Tea Room in House 1, and you’ll see what we mean.
HE’S INSPIRED BY: his experiences in the classroom. His students’ willingness to create freely and in their own unique way encourages him as he works on his art on nights and weekends. They also serve as the unofficial Ryan Trott fan club!
