Adult Visual Art Classes or Workshops
Christy Olsen is fine artist and educator, she currently teaches at the Art Verve Academy located in Tucson, Arizona.

She has also led and taught several international instructor-led visual art workshops in drawing and painting abroad overseas.
"The real gratification in teaching is not repeating the same information over & over but through the discovery of something new after viewing that same information through the eyes of someone who has a questioning mind or a fresh perspective.
It reinvigorates my enthusiastic approach to learning and inspires me."
-- Christy Olsen
