Star Phoenix chose as one of their top most memorable 2022 quotes:

I constantly see people find the incredible artistic talent that is sitting in them, but they just need some instruction on how to pull it out. There are so many people that say they couldn’t even draw a stick man and I tell them, I want you to come because I know I can teach you. I have yet to find one student that isn’t incredibly talented.

We teach to each students unique artistic style and growth.

Classes are developmental, yet individually modified to each students needs.

 

Students with no prior instruction have:

  • developed portfolios to be admitted into post-secondary schooling to further their education in a field where artistic ability is required (architecture, graphic design, art schools, etc.)

  • started their own art groups & sold their artwork

  • had artwork chosen for juried calendars

  • printed limited edition prints and art cards

  • completed commissioned artworks and murals

  • had artwork juried into prominent art shows and won awards

“I just really wanted to thank you for everything you taught me, more than my art skills even, you taught me kindness, patience & confidence. Thank you for sharing your positivity with all of us and showing everyone in your classes love. You have impacted so many children’s lives for the better. Thanks for making your class a place where we all feel loved and accepted for who we are.”

— Betina Martin, at 16 years old (9th year student)

“Art is a journey that is expressive, relaxing, and like a mini holiday. It quiets the mind and allows you to escape into a new dimension. It opens up how you observe and see things around you. Taking classes has provided the knowledge and support for my ability to evolve. When you go back to your start and flip forward, it becomes so evident how much you are improving. Thanks Christina.”

— Laurie Lancaster-Yanke, Adult

“It is the best thing I have done. I have grown as an artist and as a person. It is like therapy, takes me to place of wonder and is very satisfying. There is an accomplishment and excitement of seeing your art come to life. The class setting is very positive & productive. I learn something about art & life each class. Also the atmosphere, Christina & students are wonderful. I feel really valued at art class.”

— Marj Somers, Adult
