    Hello, my name is Tia Kastner. I am thrilled to join the Painted Sky team. I am eager to learn alongside the students and develop our artistic skills together. What excites me the most is the opportunity to express my creativity and share it in a positive, upbeat environment for the students. My very artistic daughter inspired me to take on this role, and I am excited to involve her in lesson planning. My two children are my greatest motivation to succeed.

    A little about myself: I am a mother of two wonderful children, and I love coaching them and their friends in various sports. I am an avid Harry Potter enthusiast and enjoy decorating for events. I draw artistic inspiration from my surroundings and employ diverse teaching methods to inspire students to achieve their best. I believe in nurturing students and athletes to become their best selves and to love what they do.

    I am very excited about this upcoming school year!
