Stephane Leon is an American artist, known for her fun and vibrant acrylic paintings and her adorable graphic art. She is a teacher, a sculptor and an illustrator but is known primarily as the art teacher at Franklin Phonetic School.

​

Her love of not only art but also business lead her to start up an LLC called Clayote Studios. While she absolutely loved the experience, she decided to sell her half of the LLC to her business partner and take the position of lead art teacher at Franklin Phonetic School.

​

Mrs. leon greatly enjoys teaching but aspires to do more with herself. So she volunteers with a local nonprofit foundation, Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation, serving as a board member and heading up the Fundraising Committee, as well as assisting with a lot of their website/ graphic art needs. She has helped them sucessfully  run many fundraisers including their yearly Galas and 5K runs.

​

Her experience with owning her own business and volunteering at the local nonprofit really reinforced her love for graphic design, which ended up spawning a few of her side projects: The Hidden Gems of Prescott Valley map, a coalition of local businesses who came together to offer a fun way to explore the town, and the Nacho Average Competition, a nacho competition held among the restaurants of Prescott, AZ.

I was born outside of St. Louis, Missouri, where I spent the first ten years of my life. My life then took a turn towards Scottsdale, AZ, where I attended 7th grade - Senior year of school. I graduated in the top 10 percentile of my graduating class at Pinnacle High School and received a scholarship to attend the University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ. Seeing as though the medical field was originally my career choice, I happily enrolled & attended the U of A for 2 years. It wasn't until after I had volunteered in an elementary classroom [as a requirement for one of my undergraduate classes] did I find my passion for teaching. My passion & heart led me to Texas, where I finished my undergraduate and graduate courses from Texas A & M University - Texarkana. Working my way through college as a Pre-K through 5th grade daycare teacher, I was offered an opportunity to interview for a "Professional Development School" internship. I became 1 out of 10 recipients to be awarded this prestigious internship. With my Bachelor's degree in my hand, I taught 1 year in 2nd grade, 3 years in 1st grade, and 1 year in Kindergarten for the Texarkana Independent School District. Family brought my husband & I out to Prescott Valley, AZ in 2015. Our journey led me to teaching at BASIS Prescott as a 4th grade L.E.T -  Lead Expert Teacher. Although the students were wonderful, I felt that something was missing. My heart led me to Franklin Phonetic Primary School, where I am now teaching Kindergarten for my 3rd year. My heart is full & my purpose is being fulfilled.
