About Our Artists
Teresa Barnes.I have always loved to work with children. I was even a pediatric registered nurse before trying my hand at "art". I first tried basket weaving, which still comes in handy. Did you know you can weave "clay"? After a visit to an arts and crafts fair, a friend said "YOU can do that"! I signed up for pottery lessons. After three years of lessons, I bought my own equipment and spent some time trying a variety of techniques. After winning some awards in local art shows, I was ready to share some of my knowledge with others. Since I liked children, I started there and have been teaching children as well as adults ever since.
Phillis BostarI always knew I was an artist and a teacher. With my ever present blackboard, my pets were my earliest students. The colorful leaves I glued to my bedroom wall were to me a Symphony of Autumn, although my mother wasn't impressed. Somehow, life intervened. I put away my blackboard and paints. I became a parent and a grownup. But I continued to create and was always making "stuff". As a mom, I loved my role as teacher. Now that my daughters are grown, my need to make "stuff", create art and teach however is as strong as ever.
I bring award winning colored pencil, graphite pencil artistic and teaching experience to all of my programs in graphite drawing and colored pencil technique classes and workshops. My commercial experience in community art classes and programs has helped me to hone my many craft skills and teach them in a fun, creative and educational way. I am highly regarded by the Home School enrichment community.

Teresa, an award winning ceramics and glass artist has work in galleries around Cobb County. Phillis is currently showing her Colored Pencil Drawings in Acworth at The Theater on Main, in Kennesaw at The Harmony House and will soon have her art in a few more galleries in Cobb County. Both artists have judged Georgia Public School's Reflections Children's Art Program in Cobb and Cherokee Counties.
Beginning in August, 2008, Phillis and Teresa will be offering classes at The Harmony House in Kennesaw. This wonderful studio run by Ms Heidi Truitt now offers art lessons along with music and drama lessons to children and adults.
Teresa and Phillis have spent several years instructing children and adults in art in the form of Colored Pencil, Drawing, Crafts, Clay and Fused Glass for Cobb County Parks and Recreation, several Homeschool Enrichment programs and for private organizations for children to seniors. Formerly of Artfaire Galleries and Instructional Studios, Teresa and Phillis developed "Artfaire on Wheels" an early mobile art instruction program servicing daycare centers, afterschool programs and scout troups in Cobb and Cherokee Counties. They also created themed Art Camps that are widely sought after by daycare centers. Their experience, abilities to create instructional and entertaining programs to suit all art needs have kept these two very creative artists very busy.
