Gavi Kestenbaum has been working with Main Line Art Center since early 2019. She was motivated to pursue a career as a teaching artist in order to inspire others to find their creativity. She believes that everyone is an artist and her teaching style strives to make the process of creating art fun and achievable for a wide range of ages and abilities. During her time at Main Line Art Center, she has had the privilege of working with children and teens, special need individuals of many ages, and adults in community programs.
In her own studio work, she is currently creating large ceramic vessels with intricate surface decoration. When she is not teaching or being creative, she can be found running, spending time with her husband and two college-age sons, and hiking with Mick Jagger – her mini poodle mix.
