Regan is from Colorado Springs, CO and currently lives in Lakewood, CO. She holds a BFA from CU Boulder and an MFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design (LUCAD). Regan is an interdisciplinary artist who weaves together science, psychology, history, and social engagement. With a passion for studying various ecosystems and biota, her work investigates not only the exquisite intelligence of ecology, but also the causes and ramifications of over-consumption. She encourages students to use critical thinking and symbolic language to engage their audience through their work. Regan’s teaching style allows students to identify their strengths and challenges, learn via experimentation, and explore through research.
Her favorite part of teaching at RMCAD is the community, including faculty, staff and students. She believes that student exposure to professional, working artists and designers is paramount to a student’s education and sets RMCAD apart from others. Regan is an avid supporter of the VASD Program, which exposes students to a myriad of working professionals and challenges students to push the limits with their work. Regan loves being outdoors and finds peace and inspiration from nature, traveling, and exploring different cultures. She is currently learning to speak Portuguese, and is a proud cat owner.
