She taught Elementary and Middle School Visual Art and Language Arts classes 12 years locally in public schools.  Erin stopped teaching full time to be home to raise their young family. 
Erin started All Things Art Studio teaching classes from her home art studio, and the studio has grown each year in both class sizes and class offerings.  We've moved locations several times from Geneva to St. Charles to accommodate the growth.  Erin is proud to employ many local art teachers who are also developing strong programs within our Art Studio. 
Erin claims, "It's empowering to watch this studio grow with a strong staff and love of arts, children, and teaching.  Plus it's a blast to get to offer birthday parties, scout and team bonding events and the ever popular Wine & Canvas! It's my Dream Job to say the least!"
