Brandi has pursued cultural and artistic studies throughout her life. She holds a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of North Texas and studio art training from Southern Methodist University. Though many of her fondest childhood memories revolve around art classes, theater productions and fine art showcases, it wasn’t until she began homeschooling her own two children that she discovered her passion for art education. For over a decade now, Brandi has taught art to students of all ages in a variety of settings – from private lessons in academy classrooms to plein air painting in backyard gardens.

As a homeschool mom, a guest educator with Northwest ISD and an active member of the Trophy Club Arts and Culture Council, Brandi sees firsthand the positive impact art has on individuals and communities.

She is an advocate for curriculum-based arts programs, recognizing their importance in a child’s overall education and well-being. Her teaching centers around connection which leads students toward greater confidence in themselves and JOY in the learning process.
