About Vera N. Wilson
Vera N. Wilson is a dedicated teacher and private tutor committed to making a difference in the lives of children. She began her career as a special educator in Dayton, Ohio, and later continued teaching in Fort Worth, Texas, and New Haven, Connecticut, where her passion for the arts blossomed alongside her work in education.
Wilson’s expertise spans special education, literacy tutoring, and teaching techniques in jewelry design. Art became a sanctuary and source of healing for her, especially after she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and polyosteoarthritis, which caused severe pain in her joints and hands. Despite these challenges, her creativity thrived. As a member of the CT Bead Society, Wilson earned first place in 2009 and 2010, and second place in 2012 for her one-of-a-kind designs. She has also received recognition from the New York Institute of Art and Design for her unique jewelry creations.
Wilson’s commitment to education and the arts has inspired those around her and helped foster creativity in her students and community. Her hobbies include making decorative floral arrangements and designing jewelry.
Vera holds a B.S. in special education from Jackson State University, an M.S. in school counseling from the University of Dayton, and a certification in jewelry design from the New York Institute of Arts & Design.
