Mary Elizabeth Sheehan, who goes by Marybeth, grew up in Wall Township, but now she and her 20 year-old-daughter live in Spring Lake. Her daughter is currently studying at The University of Scranton, and while Marybeth misses her so much, she devotes her spare time to her love for painting. A little about Marybeth is that she graduated from Camden County College in 1994 with an associate degree in fine arts. Before becoming a mother, she worked at both Ladacin and Neptune Middle School’s deaf program as a paraprofessional. Years later, she went back and was an assistant art teacher, as well as an American Sign Language teacher at Holy Innocents Elementary School. Since she was a young girl, she has had such a love for painting and would love to share that with you! If you are interested in scheduling a “sip and paint” party of your own, you may contact her via text at 732-320-3386. |
