Kim Heminger - President & Instructor
President, Let's Paint Instructor, Pottery Instructor, Birthday Parties & Misc. Class Instructor:
I have always loved art or anything creative from as far back as I can remember. I loved to draw and paint as a child. Through the years, I would try about any crafty project that struck my interest to feed my creative appetite. I’m always hungry to learn a little bit of everything, I will try my hand at it at least once. I don’t really specialize in one area or medium. I dabble in them all. I love working with wood, sewing, painting, flowers, cake decorating and taking something old and turning it into something useful.
I have never had enough time to do the things I love. But now that my children are raised and I’m retired, I’m excited to get back in touch with my own creative passion. I’m excited about the Marysville Art League and I look forward to sharing my passion with others.
I’m a mother three wonderful children, Nikki, Dustin & Derek, who all have wonderful significant others. I have also been blessed with five awesome grandbabies, JT, Brody ,Laney, Liam, and Noah all of whom I adore. I’m a lifelong resident of Union County and want to support this community by having a creative, positive influence on those we serve at the art league.
KIm also serves on several other boards and committees in Union County.

Bobbi Dailey - Vice President & Instructor
Vice President, website support, membership chair,birthday parties, & instructor
I have always been a creative person. There was never a lack of arts & crafts in my home while I was growing up. My affiliation with the art league allows me to share my love of everything crafty!
I run the Itty Bitty Artists program and teach card making, scrapbooking and paper crafting, wreath making, adult and kids beginners sewing, as well as any other random crafty projects that my cross my radar.
I am originally from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada but have called Marysville my home now since 2001. My husband Tommy and I have two amazing children, Grant and Averi (who are always attending classes at the art league) and 4 crazy dogs!
I have some of my crafty items for sale in Gallery 264 ARTisan Shop. It is another great way to support the restoration fund.
I hope to see many of you in the classes and workshops that I'm offering and if there's a workshop that you'd like me to offer, just shoot me an email!

Carole Stolte-Brouillette - Artist & Board Member
I’ve explored many fiber techniques including spinning, weaving, stitchery, and papermaking. My appreciation for nature, however, has drawn me to basketry. My baskets preserve much of nature’s plant life. Vines, flax, beads, wire, porcupine quills, pine needles, broom sedge, willow, honeysuckle, and bark are some of the materials I have used in my baskets. Each fiber suggests a form and challenges me to blend basketry and other fiber techniques into a functional and fanciful basket.
I have recently found I have a love for quilting. It is another way of expressing myself through fiber.
I'm a member of the Ohio Craftsman Association, The Union County Historical Society, I'm a Master Gardener and active any many other community groups.
I host a Focus on Fiber Open Studio on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Everyone 18+ is welcome to attend.

I am a life-long resident of Marysville, and have always loved art. My Mom gets some of the credit because she put me in the highchair with with paper & crayons whenever I was a fussy child. My school teachers, from elementary through high school, were always encouraging.

I taught art at Marysville Middle School for 27 years. I am now retired, and I volunteer at numerous locations; including Central Ohio Youth Center, Marysville Christian Academy, Trinity Lutheran Church, The Union County Humane Society (where I am a board member), the local Alzheimer's Association as well serve on the board at The Marysville Art League.

I am married to Nevin Taylor, who is a Marysville city councilman. We have 3 grandsons and 4 cats.
My favorite art techniques are drawing, calligraphy, pottery and stained glass. I love to sew and am serious wanna-be quilter. I love antiques and going to auctions.

I am a Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, published writer in the blogosphere, enthusiastic foodie and now…a health warrior, bravely setting out to save the world.
I have always had a passion for preparing and sharing food with others. I have owned and operated an elegant tea room and an adorable coffee shop/tea café. For me, food is an expression of love that we can share/offer to others. So let’s make it good, friends! I am excited to share with others the simple idea of eating nutrient dense foods; aka…real food! It doesn’t have to be complicated or fussy. For me, ‘real food’ is food that we make from scratch using real ingredients. Not processed foods from a box or package. It is time to get back to the basics; properly prepared nutrient dense whole foods that our ancestors from previous generations thrived upon. I look forward to sharing with young (and not so young) cooks, how easy it is to prepare healthy and delicious food to share with those we love! “Let food be your Medicine.” ― Hippocrates |
Hilary Frambes - Instructor
I am an award winning artist and community art educator living in Plain City. I have a Master’s of Art Education from University of Florida and a BFA from Columbus College of Art & Design. I enjoy creating works of art on commission, painting murals, creating large-scale chalk murals for street painting festivals. I love interacting with the public at festivals and enjoy talking with people about the artmaking process. I teach art after school art classes in the Jonathan Alder School District in the federally funded 21st Century Grant Program and at local venues in Central Ohio. I am looking forward to teaching wine and mixed media canvas classes for adults soon and creating public art during a camp with kids this summer at the Houston House!
My art education philosophy is simple....I believe children are born artists just as Picasso stated. I also feel that adults who haven't picked up a paintbrush in years can reconnect with their creative selves. Anyone who has the desire can learn to draw and paint and I enjoy fostering that in the community.
