Roxanne Pizzuto McGlashan ’88

Roxanne’s earliest childhood memory is holding her big sister’s hand climbing the marble steps to the Cincinnati Art Museum for a morning art class. Apparently, that was her one and only visit to the museum as a child, but the seed was planted. In 1984 Roxanne moved to Maine after falling in love with the landscape and strong artist community she was welcomed into. She graduated from Maine College of Art in 1988 and continues to visit Maine as often as she can with feelings of gratitude and inspiration. Although she considers herself an introvert, Roxanne was encouraged to teach and share her passion for art as a full – time public school art educator. The passion for teaching came easily at the beginning of her career in 1995 and continued until her retirement in May 2019. She found teaching high school art especially rewarding and enjoyed any opportunity to ignite passion in her students by honing her skills, experimenting with new media, techniques and processes. Now, Roxanne is extremely grateful to have the freedom and inspiration to be a full – time artist.
