kebby bio

Kebby McInroy, founder of Studio 4 Art, Do Art Daily, and Marin Pottery, has a passion for teaching, engaging the mind, and for the creative process in art education. She has been teaching art to children and adults for over 17 years and her approach is to continue developing the curiosity, expressiveness, exploration, and creativity that children naturally display and that societal ways and tests seem to hinder. Kebby’s extensive background includes work as a draftsman, clothing designer, oil painter, early childhood educator, educational coordinator, entrepreneur, and a mom to 3 children. Kebby holds a BA in painting from Sonoma State with an emphasis on child psychology and early childhood education. Although her education lends itself to a traditional art teacher in a school setting, her goal was to break the mold that was being set in place for children in art education. After opening her brick-and-mortar shop in Novato in 2008, the idea Kebby had is seen, and witnessed by many, as an invigorating and stimulating learning environment. She has become an inspirational mentor encouraging children to learn, take risks, and experiment, which is the essence and process of creativity. Children become the leader of their learning through Studio 4 Art's art program and after school enrichment programs.
