Our story
Every great journey begins with a story. Ours is no different. Established in 2022, we embarked on a mission to provide high-quality art classes at reasonable prices. What started as a humble beginning is now growing into a thriving creative community.
Only 3 to 4% adults use their creativity in their daily lives and we are committed to change that one student at a time. Creativity is what helps us think out of the box when looking for solutions in real life and artistic experience teaches us not to be afraid of making a mistake.
Our approach
Our program includes diverse art techniques and mediums that allow your child to express themselves in unique ways. From watercolors to acrylics, oil pastels to chalk pastels, tempera to collage and mixed media, our art classes offer a broad range of skills and materials for every budding artist.
I instill confidence and creativity in each student in a welcoming, inspiring environment. Our curriculum is designed to encourage and challenge children to try new things and express their personalities through art. It’s always amazing how creative and unpredictable they can get!
