Her own experience with high school art classes helped lead Megan Kunst to an art teaching position at Baldwin.

“I have always enjoyed drawing, and I really felt like I found a home in the art room while in school. So I wanted to give back and help make the art room a welcoming, ‘feel good’ place for others,” Kunst said.

For Kunst, who graduated from Edinboro University and majored in fine arts and art education, many of her hobbies are also art-related. These include painting, printmaking, clay, knitting, and sewing. She also enjoys spending time outside hiking and traveling.

Reading is another one of Kunst’s favorite pastimes. However, family life is keeping her busy right now.

“I like to read. But I have less time now because I have two little kids, so I listen to audiobooks and podcasts while going on walks or folding laundry,” she said. 

Kunst’s passion for art is also driven by the challenges that art presents.

“I like the problem solving aspect: trying to figure out how to get an image to communicate the feeling I want, or how to use the materials in a new way,” she said.
