Art Lessons with Children's Book Illustrator
See more of Chloe's books on her website: www.chloebartisty.com/books
Hello there! I'm Chloe Burgett, a children's book illustrator living in Lincoln, NE.
​
I've taught art lessons to youth and adults alike since I graduated college with an Illustration degree in 2015. Workshops in lettering, printmaking, watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, landscape painting, portraiture, still life drawing, screenprinting, digital art, and more.
I taught at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art for four years, and I've mentored students in art through LPS for 3 years.
​
I tailor each lesson to the student's interest and ability, because I believe the most important thing when you're learning a new skill is to have fun and find joy. That joy will carry you through the times where you're having trouble, doubts, or not liking your art.
