About the instructor: I desire to create art as my self-expression because it allows me a means to connect with others. Teaching art over the past 20 years has allowed me to expand even more.  Everyone has a story to tell or a story worth hearing.  There are connections to be made with everyone.  We all have things in common; experiences, feelings and thoughts. Teaching allows me to understand and appreciate my students through these interactions and I am transformed. www.jodireeb.com
