ABOUT VIOLET’S ART VISION
Violet’s Art Vision was founded in 2021 by Tiffanie Maas. The mission of Violet's Art Vision is to educate students on the importance of wildlife welfare, conservation, and environmental concerns through eco-art education. We offer several educational initiatives, which are free resources for teachers and students. These initiatives include eco-art coloring sheets, lessons, and projects. Students and teachers alike can adapt our resources to suit their needs.

We provide students with volunteer hours for their participation, which can be applied toward graduation requirements and scholarships. Teachers and homeschool educators can integrate our educational initiatives to complement their curriculum.

Violet’s Art Vision has been awarded the Saint Cloud Community Grant for two consecutive years for its mission-driven art contest for students in Saint Cloud public schools. This year, our contest includes funding for art teachers, ensuring they have the necessary materials for their students to participate. We aim to expand our programs to include instructional videos, art kits, and activity books aligned with our corporate mission, which we plan to donate to local children’s hospitals.

President and Founder
Tiffanie Maas is an award-winning and published artist, writer, conservationist, and entrepreneur. She holds a Graduate Certificate in Art Education, a Bachelor’s Degree in Film with a minor in Studio Art from the University of Central Florida, and a Master’s Degree in Art Education from Florida State University.

Tiffanie has worked professionally as an artist for themed entertainment companies, including Disney MGM Studios and Universal Orlando, before relocating to Osceola County in 2001. In 2016, she returned to UCF and completed coursework that qualified her to work as an art teacher. She has taught art locally at Saint Cloud Middle School, Saint Cloud Elementary School, and Creative Inspiration Journey School. During her time teaching, her students produced award-winning art, and she was twice nominated for Art Teacher of the Year.

In 2018, Tiffanie opened Gogh Arts in downtown Saint Cloud, an art studio for children ages 4–17. At Gogh Arts, students attended themed art classes after school and during summer camps, exploring a wide variety of art media. The studio also hosted themed paint parties for adults and children. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tiffanie transitioned Gogh Arts to an online platform and wrote art-themed articles for the Saint Cloud Sunrise newspaper, drawing on her experiences as the course designer at Gogh Arts.

In 2021, Tiffanie began working as an Art Curriculum Writer for Proximity Learning and as an online teacher for Florida Connections Academy. That same year, she founded Violet’s Art Vision to help students who had limited access to in-person opportunities due to the pandemic earn volunteer hours online.
