Meet the creator of Coloring Pages HQ

As a lifelong learner and professional educator, Dr. Tawna Schmidt appreciates the learning process and the importance of creating a firm educational foundation in the early years of life.

Coloring is a fun way for children to build foundational learning skills and a relaxing activity for adults.

With thousands upon thousands of online coloring websites, she struggled to find one that offered different levels of coloring, from preschool to adults.

Therefore, sharing all the coloring pages she created that couldn’t be found online for herself, her students, and her grand littles was the beginning of ColoringPagesHQ.com.

Our blog features a curated selection of handpicked and hand-sketched designs, and Dr. Schmidt personally creates each coloring page. Each coloring sheet helps you unwind, relieve stress, and express yourself in a burst of color.

Beyond just coloring pages, she also shares tips, techniques, and insights into making the most of your coloring experience, including fun activities that can go along with her coloring pages. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, a mom, a dad, a teacher, a Sunday School mentor, or just looking for a way to relax at the end of a long day, we have something for everyone!

We believe in the power of creativity to nurture the mind and soul. Through Coloring Pages HQ, we invite you to take a break from the digital world, pick up your favorite coloring tools, and dive into a world of color and calm.

Join us on this colorful journey as we explore the art of relaxation, one coloring page at a time.

A little history about the author and creator . . .

Being the best mom and wife possible was always the top priority for Dr. Schmidt, even when her professional goals were high on the priority list.

She is the mom of two grown boys and two grandkids (a 4-year-old granddaughter and a 6-year-old grandson), and she has been married for 34 years. She loves sharing all the coloring pages she creates with her littles and even loves the relaxation it provides by coloring herself!

Dr. Tawna Schmidt’s early career in education started as a high school social studies and language arts teacher. Upon earning her master’s degree in school counseling and certification from ages 0-21, she branched into the role of counselor for students from Pre-K through high school.

Earning her doctorate in education advanced her career further in post-secondary education as a university professor. During her time in this role, Dr. Schmidt spent many hours each week observing and evaluating student teachers in their classrooms and teaching education courses on classroom management, curriculum and instruction, and other education-oriented courses.
