We're An Art Studio For Everyone!

We believe art and creativity can be taught, you don't have to start out with innate talent, but a desire to create and practice. So many of our students expect to be an expert after one drawing and are disappointed if they struggle at all during the process. 

We are always careful to nurture our students to help them realize that practice is essential.  Other activities or sports that they participate in require a tremendous amount of practice before they play the first game or get up on a stage to perform.  When put into this context, they begin to understand that they don't have to put that kind of pressure on themselves and are able to enjoy every step of the learning curve.

Our students' success is of the utmost importance to us.

CHECK OUT OUR CLASSES

My daughter couldn’t love this class more. Amy demonstrates her strong expertise in water painting skills, while simultaneously exhibiting the admirable ability to engage and relate to her young students. You can tell Amy truly cares about each of her students. Her excitement and expertise shows through in every class, and her friendly, easygoing personality makes the classes all the more enjoyable for my daughter. Thank you, Amy, for giving Kaley something to look forward to each week!
