Additional biographical information
In addition to creating online resources for teachers, I love teaching in person and online workshops through my website artwithmrs.com. I absolutely love to keep my sketchbook with me at all times and prioritize carving out time to create for myself (almost) every day. I share my love of sketchbooking on my Patreon account and also on Instagram. When I'm not teaching or making my own art, you can find me working with my husband on our Art Accessories Brand Quell, where we sell products that make creating art more accessible and functional. Of course my "why" for all of this is my family, and love every single moment I get to spend time with my husband, kids and our dog. Thanks for being here!
