Dana Smyl
Adult Art
Art has always been a part of Ms. Dana. From a young age, Dana was constantly imagining and creating, seizing every opportunity to bring ideas to life. She spent much of her life marveling at the beauty around her, curious about what things could become.
Sharing her passion for endless possibilities is what drives her. Whether through a pencil, a paintbrush, or even a blade of grass, Dana is fascinated by the magic of creating something from nothing. Ms. Dana is eager to guide others in exploring their own imaginations and discovering where an idea can take them.

Miss Randi is excited to bring her skills and cultural knowledge to our beading, Pow-Wow, and Tot & Me classes.
