Hi,I am Melia Arts! My name is Terri Melia Hamlin, and I am a professional artist who has been teaching art classes for kids and adults for over 10 years.
I am a professional artist and I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon (still use them sometimes too). I have been teaching art classes for over 10 years now and absolutely love working with kids. My own art has changed and loosened up creatively, since I've been teaching, the kids are so inspiring and freely creative. Coming at teaching as a professional artist gives me a different perspective, I know and understand first hand the struggles of trying a new medium, or different style of drawing or painting. The frustration of getting the features on a face just right and the elation when you finally do, are things I have experienced over and over. My goal is not just teaching you or your child to draw or paint, but to help them learn how to approach each project creatively, how to think through the problem at hand and think outside of the box.
