🎨At Studio CIA Kids, we're all about letting children craft their own masterpieces.

We’re obsessed with developing the artists of future generations

Empowering Kids

I encourage and empower kids to use their own unique style and imagination to create their masterpiece. Kids thrive in this type of environment as all other school subjects and much of life is about doing things in just such a way, leaving little opportunity for self-connection or self-expression.

Self-Connection

While we all struggle to process our thoughts and fears, our kids are also struggling to put into words what they are feeling. ART CAN HELP. It can become a way to slowly work through thoughts and feelings. Sometimes a feeling is easier expressed in color or shape than in words.

Fostering Imagination

At Studio CIA Kids embrace their inner artist through imaginative exploration. Pushing them to push the envelope and make their own art instead of just recreating someone elses.

Unleashing Creativity

Students learn art is in the eye of the beholder. That while there are common ways to do things that does not make them right or wrong. I challenge them to do things their own way and model it in my projects and teaching.
