My name is Sofija Chroneos and I am the art teacher at Lowell School. A little about me, I have been teaching art for two and a half years. Outside of teaching, I work on ceramics, jewelry-making, and gardening projects. I come from a proud Greek-Croatian first generation immigrant family. If you ever have any questions about art classes or just want to say hello, please never hesitate to reach out.
