Alec has completed an MFA in Ceramics. His undergraduate degree is in art education. He has taught art in public schools. Alec says, “Teaching is one of the best ways that I know to bring me, as well as keep me in the present moment. One of the many wonderful things that I continue to learn from teaching is that I can continue to be a student; this allows me to be in a place where I can receive life’s many blessings and gifts, and this includes my own growth.”
