KETC | Living St. Louis | Art Teacher Yvette Woods

From KETC, Living St. Louis Producer Ruth Ezell meets Yvette Woods, an art teacher that has spent more than 30 years inspiring young artists. After receiving a degree in sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute, she began instructing at Meramec Community College where she taught until her retirement in 2003. A number of her former students have gone on to have a successful career—including Dan Martin, a cartoonist for the Post-Dispatch. In the fall of 2007, Woods came out of retirement and opened Studio W in the Central West End to continue teaching both children and adults her love of art.

Sensai! You have been a pivotal part of my development as an artist, too. I am honored to have been your Pickle, and I still think about you as a facet of my being an artist, now. I have tremendous love, respect and gratitude to you from me, and I am sure, many others do as well.

Yvette, you played a huge roll in my life when I was child.. and the memories you've given me still are close to my heart, now as an adult. I love you very much Yvette, and thanks for everything you've opened my mind to.
