Christie Miga is a teacher and artist in Orlando. She is trained in experiential learning, and is happy to be instructing middle-school students.

She calls herself an introverted extrovert, and finds interacting with people in general exhausting.

Her quiet place is loud. Blasting Dolly Parton. Her studio is a small room at the back of her home, but it's all hers.

She blasted Dolly Parton while painting while I was photographing her.
