Students will need to bring:

1″ green painters’ tape
a pencil and eraser
a yardstick or long
straight edge at least 24″ in length
a hairdryer

Call Stanly Arts Guild during business hours to check for class space and reserve your spot.

Jubal Strube:
Born in Mt. Pleasant, North Carolina, Jubal Strube discovered a passion for the arts during middle school: a spark that grew into a lifelong dedication to creativity and expression. This early love for artistic exploration guided Jubal toward formal training in the visual arts, beginning with an Associate in Fine Arts in Visual Arts from Rowan-Cabarrus Community College in Concord, NC 2016.
Continuing to develop both skill and vision, Jubal Strube earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2019. To further merge a love of art with a passion for education, Jubal Strube completed a Teaching Certificate at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2024.
Since 2023, Jubal Strube has served as a Visual Arts Teacher at West Stanly High School, inspiring young artists to explore their creativity and build confidence through artistic practice. Jubal’s work and teaching emphasize the importance of personal expression, technical growth, and the transformative power of the arts in everyday life.
Kenly Strube:
Kenly Strube grew up in the rural town of Olivia, NC. Her passion for creativity and the arts started when she was young and matured as she went through high school. She obtained her BFA in Studio Art at UNC Chapel Hill in 2019. Kenly demonstrates an illustrative style: emphasizing her passion for nature, video games, and fantasy through her art and style. Her career path has evolved over time, ranging from theatre props creator, to currently the visual arts teacher at South Stanly High School.

Recently, Kenly and her husband, Jubal Strube, have started a small business together, Strube’s Creative Studio, by completing customers creative needs. Services range from custom pet portraits, film restoration, murals, and much more!
