I'm Christy Hayes, a professional artist and instructor, living in Marietta, Georgia, with my husband, two children, and two dogs.  

In college, I earned a B.A. in English and Art, and a B.S. in Education.  After completing school, I taught 6th grade, until my children were born.  I was fortunate to be able to stay home with them, until they started school, and since then, I have used my days make Art my business.  

In the last decade, my art has been in a number of juried shows, one magazine, and a handful of galleries.  A little over five years ago, I began teaching painting classes, in an art center near my home, and now I teach regular morning classes at two art centers, in Georgia. 

My objective is to continue to evolve as an artist, and to help you to achieve that same goal.
