Nick Franco Art: I grew up in the southwestern city of El Paso, Texas. From early childhood, I was drawn to art making and creative expression. But when I left to attend college, it was with the desire to become a Graphic Designer. While attending Colorado State University, I became so inspired by the experimental, personalized work being created in the painting department that I switched concentrations. In 2000, I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Painting. In 2005, I received my Teacher Certification from Rio Salado College in Arizona. I am fully endorsed in Art & Second Language Instruction. I have spent the last ten years exhibiting my artwork in galleries in Colorado, Texas, and Arizona. I also curate a gallery space in El Paso, Texas for emerging artists. For two years I served as the Artist in Residence in Painting & Drawing for the City of Phoenix, Arizona. I went on to instruct elementary students throughout Arizona. After six years in the classroom, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Art. I am currently enrolled in the Masters of Art Education program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
