Students will learn techniques and processes of art making as they experiment with a variety of methods and materials. Classes are designed to offers students a unique experience that encourages and engages creatively. Small class sizes offer students valuable interaction with the teacher. Stromquist is a wife and mother of two daughters. A creatively restless individual, she always has a project or two on the go. Never one to back away from digging in and getting messy, Stromquist
models her artistic values throughout her daily life. Subscribing to the theory that creativity comes from within, her main goal is to provide an artistic atmosphere that inspires
and promotes personal expression. Stromquist believes creativity transfers itself to all facets of life and is important to the development of life skills, such as critical thinking, confidence and problem solving.
