Teaches at Unicoi Art Studio

Nora Unicoi Stewart was born and raised in Chicago and graduated with a degree in Art Education from the University of Illinois, Chicago. Creativity has not been sparse in her immediate family of painters, metal smiths, photographers, and digital multimedia developers. At the age of 23, Nora founded Unicoi Art Studio. At that time she was also a kindergarden teaching assistant at Francis Parker School and taught special dance and art classes in Parkers after school program as well. In fact, her father, a metal sculptor, had welded the lettering for the front of the school years before she taught there. Since 1999, Nora has managed Unicoi and directed all the art classes, birthday parties and camps there. She hopes to continue to add to Unicoi’s award winning success by developing new and unique lesson plans which inspire children to learn art.
