I have been teaching at KVCC for 14 years now as an instructor, and currently your Chair of Applied Arts and Media Technologies.  I did my undergraduate studies at Columbus College of Art and Design, where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Time Based Media Design.  My specialties are Video, Animation, Illustration, and Photography. I also went to Boston University where I received my Masters in Art Education.

​

When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to my favorite little human, Stella and dog mom to the giant muppet of a dog named Watson. My husband and I have been nerd talking, game playing, movie going partners for over 7 years.  Feel free to play the "how long will Aubrey go without mentioning Star Wars" game per class.

​

Hello, my name is Aubrey. I enjoy sharing my creative curiosity with people of all ages and backgrounds. My art is playful, as well as mischievous when needed.

 

I am a multi-media artist teacher and mentor. My specialty is mixing art and technology together to tell visual stories.
