INSTRUCTOR:
Jane Constable Hostetler
My professional history is rooted in design. Beginning with a BFA in Design, I spent the first part of my career in Graphic Design. Later, I chose to teach while developing my studio work, which led to a decision to earn a Master of Arts Degree in Visual Studies. At present, I teach various Studio Art courses in the Green Bay/Fox Valley area. I am very active with Wisconsin Visual Artists organization, having chaired the Wisconsin Artists Biennial 2022 and currently as board president. My studio is based in De Pere WI, where I strive to produce an ongoing variety of contemporary abstract works.
