About Azzie
I am a high school art instructor of 27 years as well as a working professional artist. My time is divided between art instruction at an alternative education high school, rescuing as many animals as I can (dogs especially) and making art for my own enjoyment as well as for yours!
I've had to take a step away from Azzie's Art Studios for a bit while doing my best to care for my own health; however, I'M BACK! :-)
The newest member of my family is Jack. He is an ADA task trained service animal who has been by my side for over a year now. You will definitely be seeing more of him throughout my posts and throughout this site. Jack has definitely earned his superhero status in my life.
If you catch me on a TikTok "Live" you might get to see or hear Mr. Stan Lee, as he is usually on my lap while I work at home, snoring loudly whether he's awake or asleep. Stan is my pug and joined my family in 2021. We are guessing that he is approximately 5 years old now.
Ms. Alpha McFlufferson is my 125lb mix breed who has now had 4 knee surgeries, is a total drama queen who thinks she's tiny. She is currently 5 years old.
And we have our little Black Bear... aka "Jerkface McGee". She is a 11 year old mixed breed with anxiety issues.
And then there's me... Azzie. And yes.... I am "that kind of teacher".
I love what I do.
