Message From The Visual Arts Department Chair
Our privilege as art educators is to prepare our students for the world of tomorrow, a world that will need creative minds. We hope that those who take our classes will be one step closer to becoming the innovators of the next generation, helping to come up with new solutions to society’s old (and new) problems.
It is my pleasure to help guide students through the world of self‐expression and my privilege as the department chair to create a visual arts program so strong and enriching that it will be of benefit of the entire school community and a draw to potential students at PTS!

In the studio we aim to provide a forum for students to visually explore interdisciplinary ideas while mastering materials and techniques presented. We offer a student-oriented curriculum that features diverse activities and addresses individual needs and aspirations.
Our Visiting Artists and Presenters programme brings a vibrant mix of voices, perspectives, and expertise to campus — offering students the chance to engage directly with leading creatives, thinkers, and professionals
Our graduates go on to shape the world through art, design, and innovation at some of the most prestigious art schools and programs across the country and around the globe. These destinations reflect not just talent, but the confidence, discipline, and vision nurtured in our studios and classrooms.
Vision and Voice:
AP Visual Art Portfolio
This curated portfolio is a window into their individual journeys, where technical skill meets personal voice and each piece tells a story of exploration and growth. From concept to composition, these works reflect the depth, originality, and fearless creativity that define a Palmer Trinity education.
At Palmer Trinity, our AP Art students do more than create—they challenge, question, express, and transform.
Meet The Team
As practicing artists, our faculty provides hands-on knowledge of contemporary aesthetic practices, a strong background in art history and an active link to the art community in Miami.
