My name is Jeff Trax, and I've been teaching art class in Ypsilanti Public Schools for 27 years. Over that time I've taught K-12th grades both in person and in recent years onlilne/in-person. I've also taught my own summer art programs that spanned three years (about 10 years ago).  I am a collage artist primarily, but I also enjoy making sculpture (particularly found object sculptures).  I create my own trading card sets and toys. In addition to my own card sets, have been an artist for about 10 different non-sport card publishers over the last 10 years.  My philosophy of art is simple: anyone can create art, because there is no wrong way to create it.
