Explore what we offer…
Oil Painting
Discover the timeless beauty of oil painting, whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or refining your personal style. Our classes focus on technique, expression, and building confidence layer by layer. From landscapes to still lifes and everything in between, there’s plenty of room to explore.
Watercolor
There’s something magical about watching pigment and water dance across the page. Our watercolor classes help you build skills while embracing the unexpected, with lessons in layering, texture, and flow. Whether you love delicate details or bold washes, you’ll find your rhythm here.
Drawing
Drawing is the foundation of so much art, and we make it feel approachable, challenging, and rewarding all at once. Our classes go beyond outlines and stick figures—expect fun techniques, helpful feedback, and serious growth. Ideal for anyone who wants to level up their realism or just enjoy the process more.
Workshops
Our workshops are the perfect deep dive… focused, energizing, and just long enough to really get into the zone. Spend a day or a weekend exploring a theme, trying new materials, or completing a full piece from start to finish. You’ll leave with more than just art—you’ll leave inspired.
Art Business Services
Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, showcase your art online, or build a stronger presence in today’s creative economy, our services are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow.
Private Lessons
If you’re looking for personalized support or want to move at your own pace, private lessons are the way to go. We offer one-on-one instruction in drawing, watercolor, and oil painting with a focus on your goals. It’s a great option for anyone wanting focused growth or a more flexible schedule.
Upcoming events.

From free gatherings like our Drink & Draw and Artist Critique Circle to special workshops and creative community nights, our events are designed to bring artists together, spark inspiration, and keep creativity flowing.
