Additional biographical information
My name is Nicole Brown. I'm from Colorado and have a passion for teaching Art! I have taught mostly Public Middle School & High School art for the past 27 years, but also had a unique opportunity to teach abroad for 3 years in the US Virgin Islands on St. Croix. That's where the True Blue Art Studio originated. I opened an art studio retail store on the island and sold my own art (Glass Jewelry & Batik Paintings) as well as taught private art classes to adults and children. When I returned to Colorado, I wanted to continue the True Blue Art Studio in a variety of new ways! I show my art at local Art Markets yearly and sell on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrueBlueArtStudio) as well as want to share my teaching resources with others!
