Biography

She draws on her faith in Jesus Christ to guide her creative process—often describing her art as a personal form of worship.
Justine earned her degree in Art and English Education from BYU–Idaho. She began her teaching career working at a teen rehab center and then a school for at-risk youth. In 2013 she started teaching Art and English at Utah Online High School. She continues to find new ways to bring students a rigorous art experience online.
