Teachers

Hannah Baldwin

Hannah Baldwin

Hannah brings a unique blend of creativity, education, and cultural experience to the art studio. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, with additional studies at the Alabama School of the Arts and in the Teacher Education Program at the University of Mobile. Her background in behavioral studies allows her to understand how each student learns best, and she specializes in breaking down complex or intimidating concepts into small, encouraging steps tailored to every individual mind.
Hannah’s journey into arts and education has taken her across many disciplines and cultures. During her military service in the U.S. Army, she studied and co-led a foreign language course at the Defense Language Institute, working with Arabic-based handwritten script—a blend of precision, artistry, and communication that continues to influence her teaching style today.
An award-winning artist in graphite and charcoal facial portraits and in watercolor pouring, Hannah has shared her love for the visual and performing arts with learners of all ages. She has taught graphic and visual arts in classroom settings through the Boys and Girls Clubs of Alabama, as well as one-on-one performing arts lessons in piano and voice. Her experience teaching English as a Second Language and completing courses in intercultural and multicultural studies has equipped her to work with a wonderfully diverse range of students and families, meeting each where they are and celebrating their unique backgrounds.
In every lesson, Hannah’s goal is to nurture creativity, curiosity, and confidence—helping students not just make art, but discover the joy in the process.

Nicole Hodge

Nicole Hodge

Nicole holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from LSU-Shreveport. With over 14 years of experience in Project and Supply Chain Management, she excels in problem-solving, team building, and leadership. Through her work on various technical programs for the Department of Defense, she has witnessed academia’s growing recognition of the importance of integrating the arts into traditional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, transforming it into STEAM. This shift acknowledges that art fosters creativity, critical thinking, and innovation, which are essential for holistic learning and problem-solving in today’s complex world.

A published poet, Nicole has always embraced writing as a means of creative expression, healing, and personal growth. Her deep appreciation for art stems from its ability to foster critical thinking, enhance visualization skills, and develop fine motor abilities. She is a strong advocate for integrating art into education and believes that art is essential for building children’s self-esteem, academic performance, and overall well-being.

Nicole is committed to promoting comprehensive art education through Children’s Art Classes (CAC), which offers a dynamic program designed to nurture creativity and growth in young minds. She understands that art has a profound impact on community development by fostering social cohesion, driving economic growth, preserving cultural identity, enhancing education, and improving health and well-being. Nicole is particularly passionate about using art to bridge generational gaps, bringing youth and the seniors together. Through shared artistic activities, she believes that both generations can learn from each other, build meaningful connections, and enrich their lives.
