Eric Quick received the President’s Scholarship to attend MCA, where he graduated with a BFA in Sculpture. He has been teaching art with various programs for six years and has worked in Summer Art Camp and Saturday School since 2011.

Bienvenido Howard Romero is a Latin American artist from the Republic of Panama in Central America. He received his BFA in painting from the Memphis College of Art in 2010 and has been taking portrait and fine art commissions since 2009.

Terri Scott is an illustrator, painter, storyteller, and avid reader. She was born in rural Louisiana, the inspiration for many of her paintings and stories. Growing up, she was influenced by J.K. Rowling and Lemony Snicket, whose stories wove fantastical worlds to which she could easily escape.

Currently, she works at the Church Health Center in Memphis, TN as the digital design assistant and illustrator for the Church Health Reader.
