Quincy Mudd Kennedy
Bell City,LA
Summary
Although I have never instructed in the class room, I have years of art education under my belt. I tested into the gifted arts program at a very young age, when I attended Grand Lake, then continued my advanced placement art courses at Saint Louis Catholic High school. After graduation from SLCHS in 2018, I immediately attended Sowela and secured my Graphic Arts degree from the Graphic Design Program. With comprehensive background in various artistic mediums and styles, I have proven my ability to create visually compelling pieces that align with client visions and project goals. I have experience in instructing indoor cycling classes, and was originally hired for the 5:00 am class while in high school. Lastly, I have been blessed to be a stay at home mom for the past year and a half where I have continued to create art freelance during my girls naptime. God has also blessed me with a young group of girls who have been taking horseback riding lessons from me. I am a hard worker, and at peace trusting that God will open and close doors on what is meant to serve my family and community the best.
