New staffer also has her own art and design studio.

Kristin Heron has joined the staff of the Ormond Memorial Art Museum as the curator of education and outreach. She will coordinate classes for adults and children, as well as community outreach programs with the Boys and Girls Club, veterans, and Florida Hospital.

Kristin has a bachelor of arts degree from Rollins College in Winter Park, with a double major in studio art and music; an associate of arts degree in graphic design technology from Daytona State College; and has completed coursework in printmaking at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

She currently operates Kristin Heron Art and Design Studio, specializing in creative graphic design services for small businesses and whimsical fine art. "In much of my recent work, I combine traditional techniques like painting, drawing, printmaking and collage with digital methods," she said.
