My elementary and high school Art teachers were the people who made a pivotal difference in my life. Art made space for a type of freedom I didn’t feel in other environments. Since then, I’ve always loved showing people of all ages how to build things, be creative, and express themselves in visual art forms. My path into K-12 Art Education has been a meandering one shaped by many art and life experiences. After earning my MFA, I worked for a couple of years as a coordinator for an early childhood project and freelanced as a photographer and graphic designer. I wanted to get back into teaching, so for 3 years I lived in Laramie, Wyoming and drove around northern Colorado to teach 3D Design and Sculpture I and II classes. Throughout these same years I was an active part of a community art collective and city mural project. Our collective opened our studio space and taught people how to make wearable sculpture, signs and banners, and printmaking. Through the mural project I painted my own murals as well as worked on collaborative projects. In 2019, I was a guest teacher for a summer course for 6th - 8th grade students at Arapahoe Middle School in Arapahoe, Wyoming and this pulled me directly into teaching in a public school K-12 setting. It made me think a lot about how the experiences we have with art in earlier years have a huge impact on whether we continue to make art throughout our lives and certainly on whether we enroll in art classes in college. I decided I wanted to teach K-12 because I want to be part of affirming art’s potential for freedom, self-expression and critical thinking for people earlier on in their lives. https://www.adriennevetter.com/teaching-philosophy daily 0.75 2021-05-09 https://www.adriennevetter.com/resume daily 0.75 2026-06-24 https://www.adriennevetter.com/home daily 1.0 2021-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/c04751c2-3ca9-4acc-b8e4-04f01fd41e18/CasperStarTribune.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/ddb433ce-bdeb-471f-a26b-f9f3c6099e80/IMG_6130+2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/9deed346-fed2-412a-8770-b15006e337f7/VetterFriday_2012.jpg Home https://www.adriennevetter.com/work daily 0.75 2022-08-18 https://www.adriennevetter.com/work/artwork monthly 0.5 2021-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/9b6b884d-f5e6-4be1-9245-bd2c73a4b297/Extraction+%3A%3A+Extinction.png My Work - Artwork Extraction // Extinction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/72337968-5697-4994-99a2-233ff9434532/18953219_10213543258834522_6090139079869709501_o.jpeg My Work - Artwork detail, Extraction // Extinction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/bb131457-e179-4947-ba8e-c7fc41689d7c/Reflections_Vetter.jpg My Work - Artwork Reflections https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/217f2f1b-222f-42b4-931a-26162ed55d59/classiFICTIONs_AdrienneVetter.jpg My Work - Artwork classiFICTIONs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/b15687de-e559-47a7-9a14-65dfd066f469/Vetter_projectionback.png My Work - Artwork detail, classiFICTIONs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/48867fa0-53f5-4200-96e2-12625cd18878/Vetter_projectioninside.png My Work - Artwork detail, classiFICTIONs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/854f0889-ef34-4b5e-a206-9bde1b90c2dd/Vetter_projectiondiagram.png My Work - Artwork projection diagram, classiFICTIONs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/7bb7339e-19de-4202-9564-5533ae8efb6e/Vetter_conquest.jpg My Work - Artwork Conquest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/47e3e655-726a-46bc-8c10-f92afb129eb7/Vetter_HorseAmericana.jpg My Work - Artwork Horse Americana https://www.adriennevetter.com/work/murals monthly 0.5 2021-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/b8b476ed-4cdd-471f-be77-131875f477eb/5c4fa7eff379d.image.jpg My Work - Murals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/bbf1ce9c-8604-4ce9-94a1-0291eeea6274/20170327_140006.jpg My Work - Murals https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/1620611169706-VXVI1ZG4G2EPLM8VWMP0/photoWPRCarolineBallard.jpeg My Work - Murals - Wild West (Social) Justice This mural, located in Laramie, Wyoming, spans the corner and entire back side wall of the building.

We studied the vegetation in 106 transect sites throughout the basins and received a Biodiversity in Art grant to create a visual arts project and put together the Plants, Place & People exhibition. Towards the end of the summer of 2017, we began a collaboration with Minnesota-based artist Catherine Meier, who is known for her detailed large-scale drawings of landscapes of the Great Plains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6096d28b3cd2ac6590515f5a/1620612827184-0PEQWTDYVREJC1ERMYH3/Revised-Dorst+Vetter-SynchronizedRecreation.jpg My Work - Collaborations - Synchronized Recreation collaboration with Marty Dorst In February 2014, Wyoming Art Party formulated a project called “Portrait of Wyoming” and invited visual artists, craft folk, and writers living in Wyoming to collaborate on a portrait of the state. Each participant would ‘start’ a piece and mail it to their partner, who would ‘finish’ it. There were no rules or guidelines other than that the piece had to be mailed in a 12”x12”x8” USPS box. I was paired with Marty Dorst, an artist, cowboy, leatherwork and scrimshaw artist from Dubois, Wyoming.
