Hi, I’m Kate Smith, one of the art teachers at Caldwell Heights. I earned
my BFA from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. I was also
fortunate enough to spend a semester abroad in Rome through Temple
University’s Tyler School of Art. I’ve lived in Austin since 1989 and earned
my teaching certificate from Texas State in San Marcos.
I enjoy spending my free time with my family which includes Richard, Lilly,
who is starting her junior year at UT this year, Nell, a senior in high
school, and our kitties Chris, Conner and Colette. I
also enjoy reading, traveling, xeriscaping (except
when it comes to bamboo), and looking for inspiration for exciting new
projects for the students of Caldwell Heights!
It’s my fifth year here at Caldwell Heights and I’m so excited to continue
learning and growing with your children because they are some of my best
teachers!
I have always loved art and art making and it’s great to be able to share that
with your students.
It’s important to me to try to introduce my students to as many different
styles of art and the artists that created them as possible. We can learn so
much from contemporary artists as well as the great masters.
I strive to make my classroom a fun and educational experience where all
students have the freedom to create and succeed!
