I am Kathy and I love, love teaching all about art, design and photography! Teaching all but 6 years of the last 41, I have had literally thousands of art students from all across the great state of Kansas.
Twelve years ago, I began teaching online through SVVCS Lindsborg, KS. From there, I joined IQKS and really enjoyed the years with them. I have been teaching with MVA for at least 11 years and I love it so much! We have a great staff and you can tell that we all love each other and work as a team.
I went to K-State and got 2 degrees, one in Art Education and one in Fine Arts. After teaching for a number of years, I went to Fort Hays State University and got my Masters' in Ceramic sculpture, but I spent many hours in Art History as well.
My husband, Ted is a coach/teacher Cloud County Community JuCo , where I also teach part-time.
My son, Dustin, lives in New York, NY.
My son, Cody, lives and in Lawrence, KS.
And yes, I am that crazy cat lady that you have heard about all of your life ;) I use the cats in lesson illustrations when I am able!
I am looking forward to this great, new year with you! Many blessings!
