Providing art education is such a joy for me! I have had 6 + years of private art lessons, high school and college courses, and art academy training. I attended Indiana Purdue in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have also studied Ministry with Vision International University and will have my bachelor's degree this year. I have taught art to students of all ages in person and online over the last 12 years. I am passionate about helping students learn art because it is a coping mechanism for all kinds of stressors that arise and taking time for art provides a sense of self-worth and confidence. It has also been proven that exposure to art for just 2 hours every week can improve mental health and overall well-being.
