Tricia Simpson of Urban Easel, Shepherdstown. events.


Simpson has studied art for most of her life, and found herself teaching it as a result— most recently at a local private school. But the urge to broaden her reach, and spread art into the community fi nally pushed her to go out on her own. “Shepherdstown has such


a vibrant art scene. It felt natural to come here,” she explains. “I think we need to balance all of the technical and logical today with something that moves a deeper side of ourselves. I hope to nurture and help grow artists of all ages, but I really want to bring children to see art as another form of communication and expression.”
