Hi, I'm Heather Keesler
Thank you for visiting my first website!  A little bit about me...

​

I earned my bachelor's degree in art and design and minored in elementary education at Grand Valley State University. I have been a visual arts educator in the West Michigan area for 20 years!  I have taught grades Young 5's to High School.  I currently teach middle school art full time for Hamilton Community Schools. 

​

I began offering summer art camp sessions at my home in Zeeland, Michigan 5 years ago, and it's the highlight of my summer.  

​

I excel in various mediums of art and my years of experience allow students to explore a wide range of creative possibilities. From painting to sculpture, I encourage students to discover their unique voice and express themselves artistically. Ceramics and mixed media arts are my personal favorites! 
 

I believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where each art student can unlock their creative potential. My classes are not just about creating art; they're about discovering the joy of the artistic process while having lots of fun.

​

Beyond teaching, I have a deep love and appreciation for my family, faith, and our pug Paul. When I'm not teaching art, I enjoy thrift shopping and hiking at Saugatuck State Dunes. 
 

Please join me for an artistic journey filled with creativity, exploration, and the joy of bringing imagination to life!
