Unsurprisingly, Tremont science teacher Kate Charles is multi-talented and great at combining her interests in unexpected and illuminating ways, such as her watercolor paintings.
In The Age of the Ammonites, Kate draws from genetic and fossil evidence to create a beautiful and inspired representation of the predatory marine mollusk that became extinct approximately 66 million years ago.
This artistic rendering draws inspiration from fossils Kate has collected, and she notes similarities between the ammonite and the vampire squid found throughout temperate and tropical oceans.
11” x 14” watercolor, matted and framed

Did you know that Tremont's Language Specialist and Cultural Coordinator Ed Rocha is also a professional artist when he's not working at Tremont School? It's true!
"Sueños de Color" (dreams of color) explores dreams as felt experiences rather than fixed narratives, where layers of color drift and collide like fleeting images that never fully settle. Color becomes the primary language—bold passages pulse with energy while softer transitions create moments of pause and reflection—allowing the composition to resist a single focal point and instead invite wandering. There is a quiet sense of movement throughout, as if something is always unfolding just beyond reach, capturing the essence of dreams as vivid, fragmented, and deeply personal.
36" x 48", Acrylic on canvas.
