General Session: Liz Flores (Sponsored by Ruby M. Decker, Author of "Supporting Classroom Management for Art Teachers")

Livestream the General Session by clicking the link below. The feed will begin at 8:50am. https://naea.conventus.live/live ### Liz Flores is a painter and muralist based in Chicago. She is deeply influenced by the everyday human experience, storytelling, and the female body. Working primarily with acrylic paint on canvas, her work is a representation of the human condition through lines, shapes, and abstract figures. It’s a reaction to life, an emotion, or a memory and is driven by her interests in community, womanhood, and Latinidad. Flores made the leap from corporate America into the art world ten years ago and in this time, has shared her story on the TEDx stage, CreativeMornings Chicago, and collaborated with major brands like United Airlines, Lululemon, and the Chicago Bulls.   Session Sponsor:  Ruby M. Decker, Author of Supporting Classroom Management for Art Teachers (Routledge, 2025) ### Please note, as with all NAEA sessions, seating for General Sessions is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
