Sally Armstrong Gradle received her doctorate in Art Education from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Her MA, also in Art Education, was completed at the University of New Mexico in 1979. Dr. Gradle has taught art in the public schools for many years. Her teaching, art work and writing evolve from a belief that personal vision emerges from life experiences, shared histories, and encounters with others within a community. Current works include eco-spiritual and eco-social issues, arts-based community practices, ritual, and reflective thinking for pre-service teachers.
