What makes Vanessa’s Art Studio different?

Vanessa’s Art Studio is a place where you can learn art and nourish your creativity. Since classes are small (no more than 7 students per class), students get personal attention and they get to know one another too. Vanessa Montenegro, who is a professional artist, teaches the classes. Her assistants go through intense training to provide high quality art standards, and help teaching, too. The studio is not only a place to study art but also a place to make new friends and share your creativity with others. Plus Vanessa is constantly training herself in the latest art techniques and art trends so that she can share her knowledge with her students.

Group and Private art classes available. You select the day and time that best works for you. I teach you art!

I also offer private art classes in Spanish so you can practice your Spanish and create art at the same time. Tambien ofresco classes de arte privadas en español.

I offer afterschool art classes as well as Saturday classes.
