Bethany Stitt

Art Teacher

My name is Bethany Stitt, I am a 2024 Graduate from Cal State University Fullerton with a major in Entertainment Art/Animation. I am very passionate about art, and I can’t imagine a life without creativity. I love to create my own fictional characters, and I even directed a group short film during my last semester in college. When I’m not drawing I like to visit new places and take photographs with my film camera. I love to travel and hope to visit more places around the world so I can take photos there.

My name is Mandy, and I am a Studio Arts student at UCI. I am now approaching my final year. Currently, my practice focuses on abstract painting, but I enjoy exploring all forms of art and encourage my students to do the same. In my free time, I enjoy discovering new coffee shops, spending time with my siblings, visiting art museums, and watching movies.
