About Me

Hello! My name is Emilee, and I am the director of Stay Good Studio. My journey began in 2020 when I decided to take my creativity to the next level. Art has always been an important part of my life, from creating independently to studying it in school, but I wanted to do more than make art for myself. I started Stay Good Studio to share my passion and knowledge with others and to use creativity as a way to inspire growth, learning, and connection.

In 2022, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Art and Design from Lindenwood University. After graduation, I began teaching at one of New York’s top-rated art studios, The Art Studio NY. I started as an educator and taught for four years before transitioning into a studio coordination role. During that time, I realized how much I missed the joy of teaching in person.

By 2023, I joined the Wentzville School District as an art teacher for grades K–5. My main goal in the classroom was to create an environment where students could not only have fun but also feel safe expressing themselves. Teaching showed me how many children lack access to the tools and spaces they need to explore their creativity. I’ll never forget how often I heard, “I don’t have a space to make art.” Those moments reminded me how important it is to create and support opportunities for everyone to experience the joy and confidence that come from making art.

The workshops I’ve developed are designed to give parents a stress-free option while encouraging the creative growth every child needs. Making art strengthens cognitive skills like memory and problem-solving while also nurturing emotional resilience and self-awareness through creative expression. It’s truly good for the mind, body, and soul.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me and the workshops I offer. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your family and to share the joy of creativity together!

P.S. I do have two corgi's named Muffin and Biscuit...I will talk about them a lot!
