Fine Arts » Our Staff

I’m a Tulsan born and raised. After graduating from TSAS in 2016 I was hard at work improving my craft by playing in jazz bands, wedding bands, and fusion bands in northeastern Oklahoma. In 2024, I came back to TSAS to help rebuild the jazz program from scratch. I’m thrilled to be part of a new era of music at TSAS!

I do this because I believe instilling a love for the arts is vital to the growth of a thriving community. I do this work to help people understand why they like the music that they do, and how that music is tied to its roots.

Educational Background:

• Bachelor of Arts in Music Education from Northeastern State University

I’m a Brooklyn transplant via the Tulsa Artist Fellowship. Growing up in Florida, I spent most of my days skateboarding, making art, and shooting hoops. The most important advice I can give: if you can, grow a beard. Favorite childhood movies: The NeverEnding Story, Labyrinth, and White Men Can’t Jump. Greatest TV show: Gumby.

I teach to connect with a collective consciousness and share my passion for creativity. I hope that others can experience the same fulfillment that art has brought to my life.

Educational Background:

I’m a lifelong Tulsan and proud alum of Booker T. Washington HS who’s taught art and art history at TSAS since 2006. Before then, I worked at the Philbrook Museum of Art in the education and curatorial departments, and taught in multiple other local arts organizations as well. I speak 4 languages and was part of the inaugural Spanish Immersion class that began the dual language programs in Tulsa in 1981. I firmly and wholeheartedly believe that public education is the most important investment we can make in our kids and I hope to use my public education foundations to give back to my community, because they invested in me. I’m married and have an 8 year old son who is my favorite person and a 17 lb cat who sleeps on me. My favorite thing to do is reading, more reading, buying books and talking about books, but also all pop culture and history. I unabashedly love good animated shows with excellent storytelling.

I teach because I like kids– they all have an amazing energy and perspective on the world that is invaluable and constantly reminds me that we need to keep a little piece of that alive in ourselves as adults. I teach because I want students to be able to work with their hands in a way that doesn’t involve a keyboard or phone. I do it because art is an ancient and timeless subject, yet is also one of the most accessible languages that connects us universally. I teach because I want my students to have practical real-world skills, like creative problem-solving and perseverance. But I also teach art because I firmly believe that students need to exercise all parts of their brain in order to grow into fully actualized adults. Through art, a student can discover something about themselves or the world that changes them forever, and for the better, and it’s my privilege to be there when it happens. It’s just an added bonus that we get to make messes and that’s awesome.

I was born in Fort de France, Martinique and was raised in Miami, FL by my mother. I absolutely love teaching kids. Teaching has been a passion of mine for the past 9years. I love to dance, sing, and have fun with my family. I am a wife to a beautiful man and a mother of 3 beautiful girls.

I got into my first professional dance company at the age of 19 (Dallas Black Dance Theatre), I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to tour all of Europe while performing on the Independence Of The Seas with Royal Caribbean, and I was one of the top 20 dancers in the world on SYTYCD Season 7. My husband and I have a love for Pitbulls and I enjoy putting mustard on my pizza! I teach because it is my obligation to train up the next generation in physical and wellness awareness.

Educational Background:

• Associate of Arts in Dance, Broward College (Coconut Creek, FL)

My name is Katie McCall, and I am a mother, wife, artist, teacher, and animal lover. I am known for being a kind, helpful, and detailed person with a fun personality! A perfect evening for me would include The Lawrence Welk Show on Television as I cooked dinner with food from my garden while dancing with my kids and husband from room to room. I do the work I do because I can, I should, and I will always help, guide, create, and grow towards the light. I teach so that I can learn. So much can be gained through teaching the fine arts and advocating for youth.
