Creative Writing
Our Creative Writing class is taught by international writer/producer/educator, Peppur Chambers, who strives to live her voice and inspires others to do the same, especially women and young girls.
As an educator, Peppur taught journalism at Prague College and has taught drama and ESL classes to adults and children. She has been a guest speaker to students enrolled in Diversity in American Drama/Theater at Loyola Marymount University.

Dana started her career as a teacher after attending Ball State in Indiana at the age of 18. She taught in many districts over the years until her goals and enthusiasm for makeup lead to an esthetician training program. She graduated Tricocci University in Nov of 2016. She took a leap of faith and set out to start her own business, FacesbyDanaMarie, which lead me to becoming apart of ART Inc.
