William Borja
As a photographer and printmaler, Will Borja likes to draw inspiration from both mediums.

Nicole Lenderking
Nicki Lenderking grew up with an immense fascination for visual art, but didn't realize her own artistic potential until taking an introductory art course at community college. During her enrollment in the fine arts program at CCBC, she found her passion for art, paired with her enjoyment in working with kids, led her to the realization that art education would be a perfect career pathway. With that, she transferred with a fine art associates degree to pursue a bachelor's degree in art education at Towson University. In the spring of 2015, she graduated with her teaching degree and became a proud art teacher of about 600 amazing art students at an elementary school in Southeast Baltimore County. After a few years teaching, she was led back into the art education program at Towson University to pursue a graduate degree and is currently expected to graduate in the summer of 2021. While focusing on her growth as an art teacher over the past 5 years, it has become challenging to find time to create one's own artwork. The Teacher-Artist Connection course at Towson University has taught that continuing to make one's own artwork not only helps develop as an artist, but also enhances the ability to teach. She mostly enjoys working with watercolor and acrylic paint, however also dabbles in pyrography and digital photography. Her main focus has been creating commission artwork but has found consistent inspiration in nature and animals as they are often the subject matter in her personal artwork. Her hope is to continue the beautiful balance of being an art educator as well as being an artist because of the importance of creating one's own artwork adds to what there is to offer in the realms of teaching.
