BLOWING ROCK — For more than a decade, Jennifer Terrell Garonzik has worked to make art accessible to everyone in Watauga County — from preschoolers in the Doodlebug Club to families impacted by Hurricane Helene.

As education director at the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum, Garonzik has grown the program from a part-time role to a full-time operation, adding an education outreach coordinator along the way.
