    Christince and Emily bring a wealth of experience in teaching, creativity, and engaging young learners.

    Christince has spent years working with children in schools, community programs, and camps across Wichita, designing hands-on activities that keep kids active, curious, and excited to learn. As a mother of four, she knows how to create a fun and inclusive environment where every child feels encouraged to explore and express themselves. Emily, an experienced art educator, holds a master’s degree in Art Education from the University of Kansas. She spent eight years teaching elementary art in Kansas City before returning to Wichita, where she now shares her passion for creativity as a museum educator at WAM. While oil painting is her personal focus, Emily loves guiding children in discovering new materials, techniques, and ways of making art. Together, Christince and Emily will lead exciting sessions at WAM Spring Break Camp, helping kids explore art, movement, and creativity in a fun and inspiring setting!
