About the Instructor
Hi friends, my name is Louise. I've spent my entire life creating and art has always been my greatest love. My background is in portrait work, but overtime I've learned that my true passion lies within art curriculum planning and teaching. I have taught hundreds of classes to just about every age and loved it.
Throughout my years of teaching and managing art spaces, I’ve found that working with children has been particularly rewarding for me. There is nothing more fulfilling than curating special art experiences that I would have loved myself as an art kid. I believe all children possess a unique, creative voice innately, and I love to encourage my students to channel that individuality through art within my classes. I like experimenting with all different kinds of materials and making sure to always provide a safe space for my students.
I grew up here in Utah and am so excited to continue building enriching art classes for children within my local community. I cannot wait to create with you all!
