Nicolle Stewart - Art Class Educator
Ms. Nicolle is our passionate specialty art educator, dedicated to inspiring young minds and fostering their natural art abilities.
She holds an Associates Degree in Fine Arts, sharing her knowledge and experience. Her belief that all children are artists nurtures the space given to each child during lessons. The freedom to express, play and learn are key aspects to experiencing art and learning valuable techniques.
Nicolle's hope is that children come to love the process of creating and grow to have a deep appreciation for the arts and the artist who came before.
Outside of art education, she spends ample amount of time with her children, husband and pets. Connecting with nature and reading hold inspiration and relaxation in-between the busyness that life provides.
