F A Q 's

Each of the "journeys" offered, have their benefits, rewards and take-aways.  Art can transform our state of being.  Mental health is at the forefront of the recent and hopefully fading pandemic.  The arts help us get grounded, find hope, and get reconnected in some way.  Designated time in the studio setting can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling.  Art is a process, and not always a product.

Visual Art skills will be developed using a variety of mediums in a small setting that allows for in depth one-on-one time with the instructor.  Individual skills and artistic confidence will be nurtured to express ideas, feelings and opinions through visual art.

Take-aways are the works that the students create that embody reflection, growth and a sense of optimism.  Some materials will remain with the student to help them build their own supplies.  All of their works will be in their possession upon session completion. 

Thank you for your interest in wondering about art for the "littles"!  At this time, classes for this age group are not available.  However, the Striped Bookmark program is new and growing so we hope to offer those classes in the future. 

The studio is located on the SECOND floor at 8115 - 92 Street.

We are located in the French Quarter (west Bonnie Doon) beside/above the Bul-Go-Gi house.

Suggested and Optional items are:

water bottle

any materials that provided to the student for the session

a sketchbook or scribbler that the artist is already using

favourite drawing tools in a box/case/container/zipbag
