Frank Sharlow is a native of upstate New York and has been an interdisciplinary visual artist since high school. He moved to New Hampshire in 1996 and realized immediately it felt like home. Frank graduated summa cum laude from Plymouth State University (PSU) with a Bachelor’s degree in visual arts education. He was the recipient of the Art Educator of the Year award from PSU in 2013. He has since earned his Master’s degree in education and continues to work towards his Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Arts Leadership and Learning from PSU.
Frank spent seven years teaching in Franklin, NH, where he worked with Casey Family Services coordinating art lessons as well as working in special education at the middle school level.
As a founding teacher of Arts Academy of New Hampshire (originally Granite State Arts Academy), Frank has had the unique pleasure of being part of the school since its inception. The school’s arts-based mission and arts-integrated curriculum have been a continual motivation for his passion to provide quality arts experiences for students. “As students encounter challenges in various art-making activities, they are given opportunity to employ innovation and problem-solving. These are skills that transfer over not only to other content areas academically, but to real life skills that they can carry with them for a lifetime.”
