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 six awesome grandbabies, JT, Brody ,Laney, Liam, Noah and Avie 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.

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 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 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!

Though I like to paint and do some pottery, I’m always up for trying new crafty things. I am one of the "All 'Bout Stenciling" instructors. I have a grown daughter and a full of energy 6 year old granddaughter. I’m pretty much a lifelong resident of Marysville except for 8 years that I lived in Texas. I am involved in the local Elks Lodge that supports a ton of charitable organizations including Veteran’s and Cerebal Palsy.

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.

Deana Pfarr-Taylor - Board Member
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. After earning my K-12 Art Education degree from West Liberty State College in West Virginia, I studied art history and ceramics with the University of Georgia in Cortona, Italy and received my master's degree from Wright State University.
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 a 4-H advisor and serve as co-vice president for the Union County Retired Teachers Association.
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.

Victoria Powell - Art Instructor

Hello! I am an upcoming sophomore attending the Columbus College of Art and Design, one of the best art-based schools in the country where I made President’s List both semesters my freshman year. My major is illustration and I minor in animation. Entertainment design, specifically concept design is my specialty. Ever since I was around five years old, I’ve always been fascinated by design in film and entertainment, whether it be character or environment design. I enjoy designing characters and creatures the most and love making them come to life through my artistic abilities. Some of my original characters have even been shown to Warner Brothers artists! I hope to share my knowledge of character and concept design with all of my students this summer.
