“Variety is the spice of life!” declares the educationally eclectic Childs. She has been driven by an inexhaustible desire to learn, and then to pass on that which she learns to others. “One of my greatest passions in life is to either keep the flame of our innate love for learning alive, or to reignite this flame in the hearts of those whose flames have dwindled, or been completely dowsed,” says Childs. Whatever the subject matter, she remains enthusiastic about sharing information & helping others build skills that will serve them and others well. ​ With 20+ years experience teaching watercolor as well as graphite and acrylic mediums, Childs brings an in-depth understanding of how to connect with her students and pass on skills that empower her students to create to their hearts desire, with amazing results. "My job, if I do it well, is to work myself out of a job," she says.
