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.
My teaching is rooted in Montessori principles and the joy of discovery. I love watching my students light up when they learn something new and then make it completely their own. Teaching has taken me around the world: I’ve taught art in China with the Peace Corps, connected through creativity with kindergarteners in South Korea, and earned my Master’s in Montessori Education while teaching in Charleston.
Now, I’m back home in Beech Island, teaching art at Redcliffe Elementary and in our Creative Roots Studio- a space where faith, art, and community come together. My hope is that every piece I create and every class I teach helps others see the quiet miracles hidden in everyday life.
Brianna Hardaway
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.
