Jane Dalton is a Professor of Art Education at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. She earned her Ph.D. in Expressive Arts in Education, and an M.F.A in Textile Design and Weaving. Jane is also a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant Educator (REACE). Creativity is at the heart of Jane’s work. As an educator, writer and researcher her interests include mindfulness, contemplative pedagogy and practice, and transformative learning using the arts. Jane’s teaching and personal practice combine a variety of contemplative techniques within an expressive arts framework to connect with the inborn desire to create. Using a creative process, such as visual art, poetry, creative movement or music, combined with the contemplative becomes a tool to initiate emotional growth, healing and change.
