About me
Sharon Santillo taught art in Maynard Public Schools for twenty-seven years. In 2011, she was named Massachusetts Elementary Art Educator of the Year. Santillo is on a mission to encourage people to put down their phones for twenty minutes and make marks, doodle, draw, paint, collage, and write their stories. Altered books are a fun container to hold all of that!
I teach a variety of workshops under my Family Stories through Art umbrella in the US: in schools at the elementary through university level, with families, at Chautauqua Institution, Follow Your Art in Melrose, Malden Recreation and I am in the process of getting my family stories collage workshop into the Massachusetts prison system. I love to travel and have a Toronto workshop for adults coming in early spring 2025 in Toronto, Canada.
