I am offering this club because I love art making, and have an art studio in my home where I make art big and small, almost every day. And, I am a huge fan (Swiftie!) of Taylor Swift! I love creating something beautiful that didn’t exist ever before!
I’ve always been creative and interested in colors, textures, textiles, fashion design and traveling the globe appreciating diverse cultures. I am inspired by nature, the cosmos and color most of all! To me, making art, expressing myself creatively and teaching others to do that, are as natural as breathing. Kids of all ages love my inspired, relaxed and energetic style of teaching art. I have been teaching art in formal settings for over 15 years.
I look forward to having the opportunity to meet and create art together.Reviews
