Whether you’re a digital art enthusiast or a traditional sketching devotee, whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this is your space to explore, grow, connect and share your art with fellow creatives just like you! As an educator, I believe that art is a powerful way to connect with others. Do you have a passion for reimagining your favorite characters from anime, books, video games, and movies?

Hello! My name is Teacher Mary and I have been teaching English Language Arts and creative writing in the Canadian school system for over 20 years now! Teaching is truly my passion! I hold a Bachelor's Degrees in both English Literature and History. Further, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Education with an advanced degree in Teaching English as A Second Language. And finally, I completed my Master's Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing in 2012. I am legally certified to teach Kindergarten to Grade 12 in both the provinces of British Columbia, and Quebec, Canada. I take pride in helping my students learn to express themselves through various creative mediums, be it art or creative writing. As a mother of three teenage daughters, I absolutely understand the very real anxiety and self-doubt so many of our children are battling. I truly believe that the act of self expression through artistic mediums can be a wonderful outlet for evacuating stress and negative emotions. I strive to create classes for my students that are exciting, interactive, and fun!Reviews
