Meet Our Faculty

 Prof. Jill Brumer, M.F.A. jill.brumer@lonestar.edu

Jill serves as Program Coordinator for the Drama Department at LSC Tomball. She attended Queens College in Charlotte, NC, where she graduated as valedictorian with a B.A. in English/Drama. She continued her education at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA, where she received her Master's in Media & Performing Arts. Her emphasis is in Acting, Directing, and Costuming. She firmly believes there is a spot for all students to learn and grow within the performing arts, whether it be onstage or backstage. Students do not need to be Drama majors to take a class and learn the fundamentals of bringing a story to life for the stage. All Lone Star College students are encouraged to take part in one of the four shows produced yearly on campus.

In every studio class I teach, I want the students to be able to achieve the highest of their abilities. Tomball’s small classes allow me to make this happen! We have fantastic facilities and space for students to make and develop their ideas through a variety of artistic processes. Whether it is digital art, in our updated computer lab, with an Epson 20x24 color printer, or photography in our 15 black and white enlarger wet darkroom. Whatever your studio focuses we have drawing, design, painting, photography or digital art, we have a space for you to develop and create your portfolio in our new Fine Arts AA-focused degree program. Yearly, we hold a student art exhibition.
