Hello! My name is Nicole Castiglioni, and I am so excited to be your Art Teacher at Austin Parkway Elementary! I grew up in Sugar Land, TX and graduated from Clements High School, so I am very excited to teach in this great community. I graduated from Rice University with a degree in Fine Arts and a minor in Business. I coached gymnastics through high school and college, and after graduating from college I worked in business management and marketing. I enjoyed these roles, but I realized my true passion is working with children, which led me to become an Art Teacher.

I love most things about creating art, but I especially enjoy photography, oil painting, and drawing portraits of animals. After school, I create my own artwork, and I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and two dogs. 

I look forward to an awesome year with you all! Go Sailors!
