| About Mary Beth Downs Artist/Instructor Mary Beth Downs Artist/Instructor email artcellar@hotmail.com |
I have the ability to teach art to students who think they are "unteachable." My students, over the last
Thirteen years, have advanced from stick drawings to having their work accepted in national shows.
Some have been motivated to go back for their degree in art. My energy for continued education and
creativity is contagious.
