Katie Wright - Owner/Teacher
I’m Katie Wright, a wife, a mom to 2 boys, a graphic designer, and resident of Vancouver, Washington! I graduated from CSU San Bernardino with a BA in Arts Education in 2013, and from there went on to work as a graphic designer for a few years. After having my first son, we moved from Southern California to Washington state, and I became a stay-at-home mom. As my son grew older, we did more and more arts and crafts. Over time, I had started to realize that art was not something that came naturally to a lot of parents, and I was unhappy with how little art was offered at my child’s school. That’s when I started to offer process art classes to my friends’ kids out of my garage. Now I am getting ready to open a studio in Downtown Vancouver! I hope to meet you one day!
Teacher Brittany
I’m Brittany McLean, originally a Cincinnati, OH native, but I’ve been living in the PNW since 2009 with my husband and three daughters. Before I decided to stay home to raise my girls, I was an art educator in the Vancouver School District teaching middle school. I discovered Drip Drop Art Studio when began taking my three year old to classes and loved the entire experience. I share Katie’s vision she has for the future of the studio and look forward to being apart of its growth.
Teacher Sammy
A recent graduate of WSU Vancouver with a BA in Fine Arts, Sammy is a well loved teacher here at the studio! She is former party princess 👑 and former treasurer of the Art Club at WSU. She is well versed in all mediums, but her preferred medium is oil painting. You will likely see Sammy hosting one of our birthday parties, or hosting an Art Play or Drawing class.
Teacher Trisha
Our watercolor specialist! Trisha has a BFA in Fine Arts and is a creative entrepreneur. She has a booth where she sells her fine art prints (as well as online) at the Vancouver Farmer’s Market, not to mention she teaches senior art classes. You may see her hosting some of our tween events and hopefully soon, paint nights for adults. One thing you should know about her: she loves frogs!
Teacher Katherine
Katherine is our newest teacher for our Storytime & Art classes! She also hosts birthday parties and helps out with other fun events around the studio. She has a lot of patience and has a unique talent of taking control of a room of toddlers and preschoolers! Apart from being a teacher here, she has two young daughters, and is the treasurer at the Camas/Washougal Co-Op Preschool.
Teacher Vanessa
I’m Vanessa Porter, a PNW native, who only briefly left for a few years to live in Georgia, but I couldn’t stay away. I live here with my husband, two daughters, dog and cat. I’ve been sewing for as long as I can remember, among other creative interests. I’ve been a friend of Katie’s for a few years and have loved getting to watch what she’s created at Drip Drop grow. I really believe in what she does and the importance of art and the creative process for kids. I teach the kids sewing class, and hopefully soon one for adults as well!
