Mrs. Kathy Mier is an excellent art instructor for St. Stephen's Academy in Beaverton, OR. She also runs a small after school art program from her home in Tigard. I wish there was a website link to post but she's a "true artist" (can't be bothered keeping up with technology when there's so much beauty in the world to observe).
My daughters don't go to St. Stephen's anymore but my oldest LOVES creating art and begged me to continue studing with Mrs. Mier threw her after school program. She offers classes on different days of the week depending on your child's age and ability. She doesn't take more then 8 students/class so the students get lots of instruction and attention. Classes are about $15/day one time/week. You will be AMAZED at what they will learn and bring home.
I also want to mention she runs camps during the summer. Some threw the school and some threw her studio. Camps start July 9th-Aug.15th, 2013 and are very reasonible (i.e. Outdoor Sketching Tuesdays from 3:30-5:30p only $95).
Mrs. Mier is just an amazing teacher that does what she does b/c she wants to mentor young budding artist. Her students have won Scholastic Art Awards, local duck/dog painting competitions and gone on to college majoring in the Arts.
If you have a child interested in learning more about art or if you have a TAG Mrs. Mier's Studio is the place you'll want them to be. Call and talk to her directly about dates and times: 503-351-5304, you won't regret it! read more
