ABOUT: Muriel Stallworth
I am a native of France where I grew up foraging foods and bonding with nature in the Provence and low mountain Burgundy regions, and where I began my teaching career. My artistic tendencies began with a love of drawing and a fascination for textures and materials that drew me to interact with nature, inspired by its infinitely renewable and malleable elements of art. Throughout my career as an educator, my longest digression from teaching spanned eight years as a stained-glass painter and conservator, when I was pulled from this field to help found the International School of Brooklyn. For sixteen years, my work as a teacher and the school’s International Baccalaureate curriculum coordinator helped me deepen my understanding of best educational practices, and led me to reflect on the importance
of developing curriculum content that is truly adapted to
today’s needs.
