  • Founder

    Koi-B Collective Art was born from the heart of Sneads Ferry native, Lauren Fagan, a passionate educator, artist, and mother of four. With her oldest now 20 and her youngest just 6, Lauren has spent years teaching, homeschooling, and serving in a variety of school settings. Through those experiences, she saw a growing need for a learning environment that truly adapts to the unique abilities and learning styles of every child.

    Lauren’s vision began with a simple longing: to create more options for families seeking affordable, faith-based education and enrichment. She dreamed of a place where learning could be both structured and creative, where students could thrive academically, artistically, and spiritually.

    Now, after five years in the making, that dream has become a reality. Koi-B Collective Art is more than a program. It’s a community of children and families learning together through art, imagination, and purpose. Grounded in a biblical worldview, our mission is to help each child discover their God-given gifts and find joy in the learning process.

    Lauren’s God-given gift is recognizing how children learn best. She walks alongside each student to craft a plan that fits their individual strengths, helping them grow in both skill and confidence. Having worked extensively in autism-specific programs, she brings compassion, understanding, and proven experience to every classroom experience.

    At Koi-B Collective Art, every child belongs, and every creative spark has a place to shine.

  • Hi! My name is Rebekah Driver and I’m the music teacher here at Koi-b! I love all things music and have a passion for sharing the joy of music with others! I recently completed the music program at Coastal Carolina Community College and will soon be receiving my Associate in Fine Arts in Music. I offer beginner piano, guitar, and ukulele lessons, as well as vocal lessons. Whether it’s learning the basics, building confidence, or just having fun with music, I enjoy helping students grow their skills in a supportive and creative environment
