Hi Welcome!
|
I am Ashley Krieger an artist, art teacher, and lover of creativity.
I am passionate about helping you learn art and get creative so I built Createful Art. I believe our happiness depends on taking the time to be creative. My teaching method is based on making art simple to learn, with step by step videos that encourage you to be creative. I hope you find my art lessons to be educational, encouraging, inspiring, and most importantly fun! |

I Think You're AwesomeYou probably already know that every great artist is creative. But did you know that everyone, including you, already has GREAT creative potential?
What makes Createful Art unique is that I encourage adding your personal touch in every lesson. I teach you art skills while we create so you can easily learn art, be inspired, encouraged, and amazed at what you can create! Let's start today! Subscribe so I can send you some fun creativity exercises to get those Creative juices flowing and also art tips, and my recent tutorials. |
My family & AdventuresI'm so glad to be on this journey through life with my best friends. You will see my children in some of my art videos as they learn right along with your kids.

We lived in Alaska for several years and decided it was time to get an RV and travel to all 50 U.S. states! I will be painting what inspires me from each state as we go. You can follow this journey on my vlog.
I love the outdoors. If I could, I would spend all my time outside, skiing, boating, canoeing, biking, rock climbing, hiking, and ice-skating. My perfect dream home is a small cabin in the woods with a wood burning stove...or maybe a sailboat. I love to travel. This is why I'm a landscape artist because every day I see something outside that inspires me to create. |
My Education
I was an art lover and educator from the beginning. I understood the power of books and information from a young age. I didn't have art lessons until I was about twelve but I read about how to create art and practiced on my own. Whenever it was available I took art classes and still do. Now I also teach and create art because I love to. I have a lot of years teaching art under my belt (I'm only getting younger, right.) We are, who we are...and sometimes things try to take it out of us, but the most stubborn of us, don't let it.
Every once in a while I tell people what I do and they ask me if I have a degree in art. I actually already enjoy a life of art education without an art degree. I have taken art college courses and enjoyed many workshops. My degree is in Respiratory Therapy but discovered my passion is art. I'm so glad education can be found in and out of a classroom, and I'm proud to be a part of both.

I love To GardenMy husband and I took on the challenge of gardening in Alaska. Every year we learn more and grow more. Notice the large fence to keep our moose pets out. Every fall the moose find a way through our fence and eat the leftover kale. We grow way too much kale every year, so it doesn't hurt to share. What to do with that kale?

I love Homeschool
|
When my first kid became school age I discovered this intense desire to find the best opportunities and education for my children. I strongly believe that each child is special and unique, so their education should be such.
We have home-schooled and put our kids in school, and found it really is about having great teachers. I have learned a lot about childhood education, learning styles, and teaching philosophies. My home-school philosophy is letting my kids direct their learning. I help them understand what they need to know to accomplish their goals and let them work for the opportunities they want. We all can enjoy learning when we are given the freedom to follow our interests and grow at our own pace. Life is not a competition, nor is it a destination, it's about creating the life we want with each choice we have. |
