Fine Artist and Instruction
Children’s Art Instruction
Emily has been teaching art to children for over 15 years professionally and privately.
Her philosophy is to cultivate a child’s natural curiosity and creativity. Drawing, painting, and sculpture skills are developed simultaneously with color and composition theory.
Creating art improves hand-eye coordination and critical thinking; it boosts self-esteem and helps to relax and focus the child’s mind.
