Easton received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MAAE from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Easton’s thesis focused on doubt and imagination in first-year art-school critiques. Her research was presented at the National Art Education Association Convention in New York.www.jeaston.com
