Sunny Art Academy

Do you want to learn how to draw and paint?
I can help you with that.

I have taught a variety of art classes for ages 4 to 85. During my Gallery 204 years, owned by the Vista Art Foundation, I created my own curriculum for acrylic, kids camps, and watercolor classes. After that, I held teaching positions at several Montessori and Catholic schools for more than 15 years.

I am a native Texan born and raised in Dallas, now living in southern California with my husband and daughter.

I received a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree from The University of North Texas and went back to school to get a degree in Computer Graphics in Multimedia a few years later. In 1992, I pursued a career in California as a graphic designer in the video game industry. After working for GTE/Verizon for 9 years, I ran my own graphic design corporation for 6 years.

“Realizing that the arts allow for pure excitement and true expression I am excited to teach you everything I can. I want to be the one to enrich the lives of children and adults through the arts.” -Karen
