Arts For All, Omaha, Nebraska - Cathi Skalka

Cathi Skalka

 

I have always been an artist. I went to Wayne State college under an art scholarship. There, I receieved my B.A. in Graphic Design and met my husband Dave. I worked at an outdoor advertising agency and at American Games Inc. for nine years. After I had my two children I stayed home and did freelance artwork. My artistic skills were also used at my childrens' schools, assisting with craft lessons and coming up with ideas for teachers. I am still involved with the Vacation Bible Fun Camp and I was a girl scout co-leader for two years. I enjoy teaching kids because their concept of art is unencumbered by preconceived ideas of what "Art" should be.
