Art has always been more than paint and paper to me- it’s a way to notice the goodness all around us, to slow down, and to connect with others in a meaningful way.

Jesus is at the center of everything I do. While I paint or draw, I pray. While I teach, I pray. I pray that every person’s life that is touched through the gifts God has blessed me with is filled with Jesus’ love and light.

My hope is that every piece I create and every class I teach helps others see the quiet miracles hidden in everyday life.

In 2022, I graduated from USC Aiken with a bachelor's in psychology. I quickly began work as an Early Intervention Specialist (EI), which meant I was helping very young kids learn how to communicate, develop their motor skills, catch them up on developmental milestones, and so much more! I was surprised and fell in love with how much children can learn just through playing and being themselves. Now, at Creative Roots Art Studio, I hope to continue to inspire parents, children, and all who come to take classes at our studio.

Hannah Zagade

I graduated from the University of South Carolina Aiken with a bachelor’s degree in secondary education with a concentration in English. I began my career by teaching English and then transitioned to ESOL. I have taught in the Multilingual Learner Program for the past three years.

I am looking forward to my new position as an art instructor, to fuse my passion for teaching with my love for the arts. I have always yearned to have the ability to teach in a relaxed, encouraging learning environment where all students and their abilities are celebrated. I am thrilled to be a part of this new teaching opportunity to meet more amazing students who enjoy learning through art and expressing their creativity through fun hands-on lessons.
