STEPHANIE LEIGH SCHULZ

“It’s a joy to work with children. Every child has something to express through art. It’s my privilege to inspire children and to help them find their own creative voice.”

Stephanie has been introducing children to the wonder of art through both volunteer and professional efforts for thirty years. School instruction, summer day camps, and private tutoring comprise much of Stephanie’s years in art education. She has taught in inner city Detroit, Inuit villages in British Columbia, and private school settings in suburban cities. Additionally, Stephanie runs a home design studio (formerly Heritage Interiors) through Art in Hand, specializing in murals and decorative painting.
