RIT Faculty Profile: Amy McLaren Brings Community to the Classroom

Rochester Institute of Technology faculty Amy McLaren brings a wealth of positive energy and creative passion to her drawing and painting classes in the College of Art and Design. In her personal work, she expresses the value of togetherness and community — the same qualities she promotes in her classroom. Some of McLaren's work explores secrecy and sharing via sock-puppet paintings that integrate humor, introspection and the darker nuances of wanting to be seen and heard.
