We believe that with proper instruction anyone can become a successful artist. We help our students balance their own creative ideas with superior technical fine art instruction so they may grow in ability and confidence to express their own personal visions. With solid skill-based instruction, students are capable of creating real fine art, well beyond crafty projects. Our year-round
program allows students to register and start attending class at any time, as space permits.
