Ashley Weinard is an Educator at the North Carolina Museum of Art. She attributes her career choice to the long hours she spent as a child dutifully following her mother (a high school English teacher) through countless museum galleries and historic houses. She studied Renaissance art history at Vassar College (did you know it’s co-ed?) and the Institute of Fine Arts (ideally located across the street from the Metropolitan Museum of Art).

If you give her a few minutes, she’ll talk your head off about the state of NC schools, symbolism in Italian altarpieces, cool things to do with your preschooler, and why she’s dying to visit Bora Bora.
