Hello! 

My name is Liz Brent (the kids call me Ms. Liz) and I am so excited that you're here! 

I'm a Chicago-based business owner, teaching art classes to kids all over the world.

I have a passion for sharing the joy of painting with others, and I truly love what I do! 

My teaching practice has taken me into schools, community art centers and summer camps all over Illinois, and now I've expanded with online teaching for kids and adults. 

I'm a professional acrylic painter with a BFA in Art Education and a Masters in Special Education LBS1. I'm in my 8th year of overall art teaching experience, with 3 years experience as a high school Special Education teacher and case manager. 

My teaching is always focused on diverse learners, and incorporating differentiated instruction however possible. 

I have experience teaching art to a wide range of students,  including those with Anxiety, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Emotional/ Behavior Disorders,  Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, and Developmental Disabilities.

I truly love working with kids, and love that I get to do it every day.  

I believe that every child has something truly unique to share with the world, and their creativity must be praised and cultivated. 

I'm on a mission to make art more accessible for all, one class at a time, by creating lessons that cater to my students' differing styles, no matter their age, ability, or background. 

I believe in creating an environment of fun and exploration. Not lecture-based, but students and I learning and creating together. 

I look forward to painting with your learner in class!
