RIT art instructor and teaching artist, GRETCHEN ETTLIE, will deliver a talk entitled “From Rochester to Macau to Summerville” at the February 25, 2020 meeting of the Irondequoit Art Club to be held 7:30 PM at Chapel Oaks, St. Ann’s Community, 1550 Portland Ave., Rochester, NY 14621, after the club’s 7 PM business meeting. (Enter St. Ann’s Campus and bear left following signs to the main entrance of Chapel Oaks.) There is no charge for this event and the site is accessible to all. Gretchen is a 2D mixed media artist and an art teacher with a creative spirit, an adventurous soul, and an affinity for cats. She grew up in Michigan, crossed the Great Lakes to study graphic design and art education at RIT from which she holds a BFA in Graphic Design, 2002. Choosing to engage in an arts career in a more meaningful way, she graduated from RIT with a Master of Science in Teaching (MST, 2004) and became credentialed to teach art K-12. She traveled to the other side of the world to teach art at the School of the Nations in Macau, China. After spending 11 years as an educator in “The Las Vegas of Asia,” Gretchen is happy to be back in Irondequoit close to family. She enjoys long walks on the beach (literally—she lives near the Lake Ontario shoreline), and she shares her home with her two beloved souvenirs from Macau—her cats, Bobo and Nicho. Starting in the fall of 2019, she went back to school again—working on a Master of Fine Arts at RIT. Gretchen will address the club on her eleven-year tenure teaching art in China as well as the cultural highlights that she experienced there.
