Hey, I'm Mckaylie! I work as a part time art teacher here at Selva Art Studio when I'm home from Biola University in LA. I have been enjoying art since I was in middle school, which has later lead me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in design. I have worked with kids since my early years in high school and I thoroughly love helping kids explore their creativity in art. My chosen medium is acrylic paint. Aside from painting, my favorite hobbies are spending time outside and exploring nature!
