Donna Epstein
My name is Donna, I live in Los Angeles. I have had a love for art for many years. I have been an art teacher for over 12 years where I teach childen ages 4-15 art classes at a private school. I really try and make my own art when I have time. In my spare time I enjoy walking with my friends and traveling to different places, and also relaxing either doing embroidery or knitting. I was born in Johannesburg South Africa and did all my education there, I studied art in high school and followed it up at college, but did not fully commit, when my family wanted me to go and get a business degree. After volunteering my daughter class, I decided that is what I wanted to do is share my skill with children and any or other age group, that what inspired me to become an art teacher.
Mariam Mikhail
I'm a watercolor artist and early childhood educator who enjoys teaching beginners how to paint in a relaxed and creative way.

Title or Location: The Marshes
This 9x12 watercolor is a depiction of wetlands typical of Georgia at sunset. It's painted in a loose and expressive style. A central blue waterway snakes through the dense green reeds of the foreground marsh, reflecting the golden light of the sky with gray clouds and a distant line of green trees in the background giving it depth and perspective.
