The Staff
I’m a professional artist and dedicated art educator with over 15 years of teaching experience. Known for my kind and positive approach, I strive to create a welcoming environment where students feel encouraged to explore, take risks, and grow. I especially love helping young artists discover their unique voice and build confidence in their abilities. Watching students develop not only
their skills but also their self-belief is the
most rewarding part of what I do.
Hi! My name is Camryn Leiker, and I have loved art since I was in elementary school. From a young age, I knew I wanted to become an art teacher and share my passion for creativity with others. I earned my degree in Art Education from Pittsburg State University and currently teach elementary art
at a public school in Overland Park. I love
helping students explore their creativity, build confidence, and express themselves through
art.
Patrick is a self-taught artist with a longstanding passion for drawing and painting, specializing in acrylic on canvas. In 2020, he began restoring shoes as a hobby, which evolved into creating custom designs after being inspired by prominent artists in the field. His first project, a Ghostbusters-themed pair of Converse, received strong positive feedback and led to commissions from friends and others. In 2023, he founded PA Customs and Designs, where he has since worked with a diverse clientele, including professional athletes. He has also
collaborated with JAW Bats in Olathe, Kansas,
producing custom-painted bats. Patrick
continues to expand his work across various
mediums, transforming everyday items into
unique, personalized pieces of art.
