Christy Mortimer

Hello! My name is Christy Mortimer, and I have been an art educator for sixteen years. I have taught at the elementary, middle, and college levels. I hold a bachelor’s degree in studio art, a master’s degree in art education from Georgia State University, and a doctorate in teacher leadership from Piedmont College. I also received my educational leadership certificate from Columbus State University. I have held many leadership positions in art education and have written visual art instructional frameworks for the Georgia Department of Education.

I live in Georgia with my husband of twenty years and fifteen-year-old son. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching my son play baseball, creating my own art, and playing soccer. I am excited to share my passion for art education as a part of the AOEU team!
