Sharon Obermeyer was a teacher of art and design for Antonelli College, Cincinnati Ohio. She taught there 17 years. She is also certified by the National Association of Art Educators. She attended Central Art Academy, a renowned art school in Cincinnati. Later, she went to the University of Cincinnati and studied Art Education and History. For seven years, she worked as an illustrator and designer of children's publications and books at Standard Publishing. Sharon herself says: "I decided to make art affordable and accessible, and I created a beautiful working studio in Anderson Township. Mount Washington Art Works, the only school of its kind on the East Side of Cincinnati, is now open to all students, ranging from 2 years old up until adults. We have seen a steady growth in our third year, and we are thriving as more students realize the value and joy of art.
