Jill Kiefer

In memory of Dr. Jill Kiefer, an art historian and teaching artist. She was the Director of What About Art?, a website devoted to encouraging art knowledge, and a Member and Past President of the Ossining Arts Council. Many of her artworks were homages to the great figures of art history.

She was a Federal Title V Grant recipient four times for her work in Hybrid Learning, and she was a member of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.
