Welcome John Halliday to Central

John began watercolor painting while traveling through Asia during graduate school. Transitioning from the forgiving chalk pastels as a primary medium took time and patience. This process resulted in John developing a loose and distinct style that he continues to refine. John has worn many hats in his work career, including being a nurse, designer, teacher, and ultimately a full time artist. He loves partnering with students of all ages as they explore and discover within the creative process. The greatest thing in the world is the freedom I feel as I paint. Free to explore, free to create, free to express.

Hi my name is Alicia with Southern Raven Designs and I’m a polymer clay artist. I started this as hobby a few years ago but quickly fell in love with it. I mostly make earrings but I also make barrettes, bookmarks and trinket trays out of polymer clay and always open to new ideas! I’m excited to be a part of this group of artists and can’t wait to meet you all!
