About the Instructor | Nicole J Fitzgerald A now full-time artist who grew up in Portage County while attending Tomorrow River School District from K-12 in Amherst, WI. After graduating high school, I studied art education, dance, music, and interior design in college. I graduated in Residential Interior Design. Married my high school sweetheart, and now we’re proud parents to one awesome son with another one arriving May 2025. I’ve always been involved with the arts since childhood and am so excited to be back in this area to bring my style to this arts community, creating a fun, positive, supportive, and educational environment to share my expertise, experiences, and passion for the arts. A cheerful place to create, interact, and grow. Every workshop I design to teach principles as well as techniques in art. I truly appreciate the continued support and look forward to welcoming you to my workshop! Let's make a splash at The Art Garage in 2025! I hope to see you soon.
