All About Kris



 Kris Norman founded Mesa Art Studio in Mesa Arizona in 2001, and opened her new studio in Murray, UT. in 2012.
Teaching and Art are Kris' passion!  Kris has taught art in various forms and mediums for nearly 30 years.  She has a teaching background and has worked and taught in the public school systems in AZ and UT as well as charter and private schools, in both art and education.   Kris wanted to give her art students an opportunity to learn realistic drawing skills without restricting creativity.  Kris has attended numerous seminars and art courses over the years, developing her own style and method.  Kris has the ability to touch all, even those with learning and physical difficulties.  She enjoys being part of the 'aha' moment when a student catches on to the magic secrets of drawing and painting!
