Amy Tilton couldn't take it anymore.

The incessant emails. The infiltration of politics. The unkind words from parents.

So when she realized her job as an elementary school art teacher had become something vastly different than what she had signed up for six years prior, Amy concocted an exit strategy.

It was a quiet strategy, but it speaks loudly about who Amy is, what she stands for, and the impact she wants to make on the Seacoast.

In today's conversation from my makeshift studio in Portsmouth, the Seacoast's beloved community art teacher and I discuss the following:

Amy Tilton is a beloved community art teacher on the Seacoast. Formerly an elementary school art teacher, Amy now hosts her "Paint Everywhere!" workshops at Loaded Question Brewing, North Country Cider, Tree Line Outfitters, and other locations on the Seacoast. She also hosts group lessons for kids, gives individual lessons, and will also paint you anything your heart desires.
