History

Established in 2012.

Our mission is to nurture individuality and confidence through creative expression. Rather than teaching our students to do things «the right way», we guide our students to work from personal experience and interest, thereby allowing the true self to be expressed with joy and freedom.

For beginning students, our classes are dedicated to preserving and celebrating this purity of artistic vision. For more advanced students, we seek to reawaken this spirit, allowing them to see the «same old things» in creative new ways.
