"I went back to college at the young age of fifty and got my BFA from Metro State in 2008," says Evergreen-based architect-turned-artist and teacher Scott Zbryk (you, like his students, can call him Mr. Z). It wasn't easy landing a full-time teaching gig in 2008 because of the downtrodden economy, so Zbryk started substituting in Jefferson County Public Schools -- and that's actually worked out quite well, since the flexible teaching schedule gives him time to focus on art when not teaching budding artists how to not only think outside the box, but turn the damn thing upside down and inside out!
