Teacher expertise and credentials
I love to share fun creative ways to make things including from recycled materials. I have 11 year old twins, a boy and a girl, who keep my on my toes and relevant. We're always sharing with each other fun new ideas and art projects. Art is my passion! I love all mediums, especially pencil, acrylic paint, water soluble oil paint, and even markers. The more colorful the piece the more excited I get. I've been teaching since I was 16 years old and I'll be teaching in some capacity for as long as I can. I've worked with kids aged from birth to 16. I enjoy inspiring students to succeed and feel successful in any endeavor they undertake. I am a lifelong learner myself. Anytime I'm not teaching, I'm learning and doing; from improv to painting, to trying new things like zip-lining or parasailing. This year I hope to go skydiving. As long as you're trying, the sky is the limit!
