"Your patience and guidance, allowed us to make paintings that reflected our personalities. We were all surprised at what we had accomplished in one afternoon. You are so talented and made things easy for us to follow. I cannot wait to take more lessons with you."

EXCELLENT Based on 67 reviews Sophia W2024-01-10 Nancy is an exceptional art teacher! Our year-long experience in her private lessons has been absolutely fantastic. Her incredible talent in working with kids shines through in every session. My son adores her and under her guidance, has created breathtaking artwork beyond belief for a 4-year-old. Nancy's ability to captivate and inspire young minds is truly remarkable. She's a gem in nurturing creativity! Margot Haldenby2023-12-23 Nancy is so talented, creative, encouraging and enthusiastic. She knows how to "draw" out the natural artist in us ALL! Stephen Fine2023-12-23 Our daughter has been attending art classes here for close to two years and absolutely loves it! I can not say enough good things about Nancy and highly recommend her classes to everyone. Anna Goncharova2023-12-23 My 7 year old daughter took Nancy's classes through her school and created such beautiful pieces of art which are sure to become treasured family keepsakes. I am looking forward to more lessons and more beautiful art. JoJo Zhou2023-12-22 Nancy is amazing!!! My 4 years old love her and she painted 2 art piece in the first art class!!!!!! Super impressed!! Sarah Reid2023-12-20 My daughter LOVED art class with Nancy and she came home with the most beautiful pieces. Thank you Nancy! We’ll be back soon. Andrea Mourad2023-12-20 I’ve never painted before. Nancy guided me through many different art experiences that ended up being worthy for my walls. I never imagined I’d frame a painting for my dining room that I painted. It never even crossed my mind. Nancy is so patient, fun and gentle. She makes every experience with her special and unique. You feel like a professional artist when you’re finished and the art you create is such a boost of confidence. Makes you think about all the other areas of your life that you are playing small in unnecessarily. Book a call with Nancy or better yet, just book an art class. I promise you, it will change your life and your boring walls. Lukas Grey2023-12-19 They offer a beautiful, safe space for kids to explore art and improve their skills; it's one of the beautiful things about art, creating vulnerability and allowing for expression. We can see how our child is picking up genuine skill and technique in the class and knowing he's in a warm and caring environment means the world to us. We're so excited for him to continue to enjoy time in the studio here! Margaret Yeung2023-11-13 Our kids love Nancy's classes and always ask to paint here!
