About Megan Acosta

With over a decade of experience teaching art to children of all ages, I am passionate about using art as a way for families to slow down, connect, and create lasting memories. I hold:

  • B.S. in Art Education and B.F.A. in Photography from Penn State University
  • M.Ed. in Instructional Design and Technology from Texas Tech University

As a military spouse and mom, I understand the challenges of busy family life and the need for meaningful moments together. That’s why I focus on process-based art experiences that celebrate creativity and exploration rather than perfection.

My classes are endorsed by the Palmer Lake Arts Council and emphasize hands-on, collaborative, and imaginative learning.
