Join us Saturday morning for a virtual Artist Discussion with Becca Kallem, part of The Art Clinic Online's artist discussion series.

Becca Kallem (b. 1980) is a Virginia-based artist and educator. She grew up in the DC area. Some of her most foundational memories include visiting the NGA and Phillips Collection with her mom, and how her elementary school art teacher would have the class draw a giant carp preserved in formaldehyde. She received her MFA in painting from the University of New Hampshire, a BA in Art and Spanish from the College of William and Mary, and completed education coursework through UVA and Virginia Tech. Her work has been exhibited at various galleries including Hillyer Art Space, the DC Center for the LGBT Community, and the Bowery Gallery in New York.  She has had residencies at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington, the Vermont Studio Center, the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, the Chautauqua Institute, and a Fulbright fellowship in Madrid, Spain. After 15+ years teaching elementary school art for Arlington Public Schools, she now teaches high school painting and drawing at the Potomac School in McLean, Virginia.
