Hi there, CRUSHERS! I am so happy that you are here with us and I cannot wait to crush it with you! I am a former Art Educator for Norfolk Public Schools, specializing in drawing and painting. I am now super passionate about sharing the joyous world of Art with all of YOU amazing humans.
In November of 2020, my husband and I learned that our newborn son had hip dysplasia and would need to be in a full body harness/rigid brace for the better part of his first year of life. With must consideration, we decided that I would leave my teaching job to care for him. I was a stay at home mom for 2 years but by the end of the 2nd year, I became desperate to continue sharing my love for the Arts. I began teaching solo Paint Night classes and during this time, I realized that there was a dire need amongst the community for more safe, creative spaces where people can express themselves and connect with one another. This is how Crush It came to life and I am so honored to have you be a part of the joy!
