TEACHING ARTIST, VISUAL ARTS
Since 1998 Stacie has been teaching art to children and adults throughout San Diego county, though non-profit organizations, private studios and private lessons.

These subjects are explored while fostering a sense of creativity and personal expression. She feels the visual arts open doors that can empower a student, helping them to develop confidence and individuality by embracing both the intuitive and the rational, and providing a framework for creative thinking that is applicable to a broad variety of study. |
