Who We Are

Micheli Oliver
Teacher
Hi, my name is Micheli (mik-kay-lee) Oliver, at the shop I usually go by Mika. I was born and raised in Colorado and work as a photographer and filmmaker when I’m not at C&A. I’ve been working with kids since nannying days in high school and college. I’ve also worked as a camp counselor at an outdoor adventure camp and have worked at C&A on and off since 2017. I connect with stories deeply and love to see creative minds at work. I also like to mountain bike, read fantasy books and hang with my cat!

Curtis Tucker
Teacher
My name is Curtis and I’ve been working in childcare for over ten years. I enjoy being creative and teaching anything relating to art. In my spare time I’m a printmaker and designer working on my projects. I love seeing what things kids come up with when you give them space to make!

Fitz
Teacher
My name is Fitz (they/them), and I am a former classroom teacher with experience teaching across other artistic styles such as theatre and dance. I love working with kids and believe that creative play helps kids grow into confident, capable, kind adults. All kids deserve a space to stretch their artistic muscles!
