We’ll focus on approachable methods such as hatching, contour lines, and negative space drawing, empowering kids to develop their artistic skills with confidence.
While we provide specific materials and challenges each week, our teaching philosophy embraces creativity and personal expression. Young artists will learn to draw what sparks their interest, guided by widely interpretable prompts. At the Art Retreat, we believe in nurturing each child’s unique style and artistic voice.

I love making art and teaching art, but more than anything, I love encouraging people to be curious and courageous when creating their own art. I believe in the therapeutic benefits of getting messy and exploring through multiple artistic mediums. Art should be fun, and I think everyone should give themselves a chance to create.
