Amy Browning-Dill
Amy's love for art began early in life, at the age of 13, she enrolled in weekly watercolor lessons for six years. Amy graduated Summa cum Laude from McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland with a B.A. in Studio Art and Art History. For seven years she has been teaching drawing and watercolor lessons to children and currently works as a substitute teacher for Loudoun County Public Schools. She is currently pursuing a teacher's certification for the state of Virginia. Amy's areas of expertise include watercolor, oil, and scratchboard, and she seeks to be a versatile artist by experimenting with clay, mosaics, fresco, and contemporary wood sculpture. In her free time Amy enjoys reading, swing dancing, and attending plays at local theatres.
Jamie Giuliani
Jamie Giuliani received her B.A. in American Literature and Theatre from George Mason University. She has performed with the GMU Players and AFYP Stages. Film credits include Haze and Guns n’ Grams (currently in production). She has been teaching with A Class Act: Acting for Young People and Adults since 2009, and is thrilled to share her experience and knowledge with students of TCK. Jamie finds her job teaching theatre extremely rewarding because she sees each student’s personal growth, as both a person and a performer, first hand. Jamie has taught ages four through eighteen; and believes every age group benefits from studying the performing arts.
Jill Evans-Kavaldjian
Jill is an artist, muralist, and decorative painter who lives near Lovettsville, Virginia; a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Fine Arts; and a former teacher.
Her work takes many different forms. She has recently completed a series of commissioned landscapes, a mural for a child's bedroom, a colorful faux-painted formal interior, and illustrated educational materials for preschoolers.
Her recent works reflect her interest in combining subjects from nature with formal artistic themes, including studies of color, line, and movement. Most recently her drawings have begun to leave the page in a series of three-dimensional paper constructions.
Na Kim
Na, a graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, has been teaching fine arts to kids from the age of 4, and to adults for the last 3 years and feels that there is nothing quite as enjoyable as teaching arts. Na says that she feels very lucky, because through arts she sees her students develop basic skills in visual arts, and that they are encouraged to explore their artistic abilities and gain self-esteem and confidence.
Drawing and painting have been Na’s true passion since she was very young. She loves working with a variety of media to include oil painting, watercolor, pastel, and colored pencil.
Ron Stephens
Ron Stephens comes out of a semi-retirement to teach again - an activity he enjoys more than any other! Ron has a master’s degree from the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada, and during his career has been a teacher, department head, vice-principal, principal, head of school, and tutor - as well as a dramatist, creative writer, artistic director of a theatre company and ordained priest with an active volunteer ministry in Warrenton, VA. He has developed and taught courses in University in Creative dramatics, directed more than 35 dramatic plays and musicals, and had lead acting roles in 10 productions. Both his plays (The Stone Angel and The Best of Times) have had successful runs in Canada. He is also a trained singer and has sung professionally - though now his greatest joy is in the solo concert that he brings around to senior citizen homes in the area. He looks forward to teaching at Treehouse and developing exciting new acting and production programs.
