Hello! I'm Ameris Grapa, an art educator and a certified fair judge. I teach art in Three Lakes, Wisconsin and work as a freelance artist. I majored in art education at Concordia University Wisconsin, which included studying art in Italy. For over twenty years, I have judged fine arts, crafts, photography and other mediums at county fairs. I teach seventh through twelfth grade art classes, including graphic design, painting, drawing, three-dimensional sculpture, airbrushing, photography, and ceramics. During the summer, I creat commissioned drawings in graphite, colored pencil, pastels, and watercolors. As a native Northwoods resident, I thank God for the opportunity to capture the beauty of nature and to encourage others to explore their creative abilities.
