Hi Young Artists-
My name is Ms. Lisa and I love to make art -- just like you!
I am very passionate for all things art, from drawing to painting to photography. I currently teach art at a local high school and get inspired by young artists each and every day. I love teaching using different materials and techniques. I enjoy spending time with my family and our dog Daizy, who loves to play catch.

Ms. Rachel
Hello young artists! I have a background is in teaching and advocating for children with a broad range of strengths and challenges. I have been an artist since childhood, studied at Rutgers and the School of Visual Arts, and have been an educator for over fifteen years. I am currently also pursuing professional registration as a horticultural therapist. I am so excited to be combining these worlds that I love -- nature, art, and teaching -- into classes for young artists!
I am also Mama to a five-year-old ball of energy who will stay in one place juuust long enough to draw a few deep sea creatures, and an eight-year-old who loves Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture and stays up far too late reading in bed. I’m sure you will meet them at the studio, if you haven’t already!

Meet Our Instructor
Ms. Becky
My love for art started at a young age crafting with my mother and sister. My hobby blossomed into a true love for art. I knew I wanted art and working with children to be my occupation. I have been fortunate to be an art teacher to students of various ages for over fifteen years, but currently teach at the elementary level. I have a love for creating, which extends to giving new life to old furniture. When I'm not making art, I enjoy spending time outside with my family and working in my garden.

Meet Our Owner
Ms. Sarah
A long time ago, I decided I wanted to be an artist and pursued my dreams by going to art school to learn all that I could about art. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Art from the School of Visual Arts and a Master of Fine Art from Vermont College of Fine Arts. I always wanted to open my own studio to share my love of the arts with artists of all ages. I am a cancer survivor and after finishing treatment, decided that life is too short to not do what I love. I opened the studio with the love and support of my family and could not be happier. When I am not at the studio, I love going on adventures with my husband and boys. I enjoy painting, gardening, yoga, reading, and being outdoors. I recently completed my 200 Hour Yoga teacher training and will be offering movement, meditation and art classes at the studio!
