Instructor Bio: Liz Stanley is the Arts Program Manager at the ALS Association, creating this Creative Pursuits program, which was the vision of Ken Baltes, bringing creative experiences to people living with ALS. She lost her best friend to ALS three years ago, who was an amazing artist. This inspired her to bring her passion for the therapeutic power of creation to people living with ALS.

Liz’s background has been in art education, teaching preschool to adults, in every medium, for the last sixteen years. She recently moved back to the states after seven years teaching abroad in Turkey, Cambodia and Costa Rica with her husband and two children, ages thirteen and nineteen. Liz enjoys technology and loves learning and sharing her knowledge of tech tools, she has her computer engineer father to thank for that. She is excited to help you navigate the world of digital art as you find new ways to create even with the limitations that may affect you now or in the future.
