Brianna Killion has cherished a love for art and children since her own childhood in Fargo, North Dakota. From an early age, she dreamed of becoming both a mother and an artist.
After earning a degree in art education from MSUM, Brianna worked as a nanny before becoming an art teacher at Saint Paul Academy. Her journey eventually led her to New York City, but her love for nature drew her to Roxbury, Connecticut, where she and her blossoming family lived for several years before relocating to the quaint inspiring village of New Preston.
Brianna serves as the full-time art teacher for Region 12 schools, including Booth, Burnham, and Washington Primary School, where she teaches Kindergarten through Fifth grade. She finds pure delight in watching students discover and nurture their passion for art.
Brianna’s latest venture, the Washington Art Association School Art Program (WAASAP! for short) aims to be a home away from home for your child. Here, children can create to their hearts’ delight while learning about famous artists and techniques in a nurturing and inspiring environment.
