Wow, been a while!

Where has the summer gone! I can’t believe it’s already time to start thinking about the next school year and MAEA Fall Conference! Where have I been all summer…well  I’ve begun a new adventure in my art career…business owner. I recently opened an art studio in Nixa, Missouri called Art Zone. Art Zone offers classes for adults to children. With several of my fellow art teachers, Art Zone is able to offer classes covering multiple mediums. From acrylic painting to watercolor….paper mache to plaster….we can do it all. Check out our current offerings on www.artzonenixa.com. Stop in sometime and see what’s going on: 1330 W Schatz Ln Nixa Mo 65714.

I’ll still be teaching but I’ll also be exploring! Tell me what you have been up to?? Send pictures if you can I’d love to start adding more D10 adventures to the blog. maead10@gmail.com
