My Philosophy about Art:
At Island Girl Art Studio , we believe that everyone is an artist because as someone famous once said - "Art is simply a way of "seeing". What you see and what someone else "sees'', even while looking at the same thing may be completely different. Pretty cool, eh?
We believe in the process of making art and the wonder and awe of "getting lost in the moment" while creating . This happens whether you are a serious artist or whether you simply make art for relaxation and enjoyment.

In my classes and workshops I focus on process-centered programs which means I teach skills, encourage imagination, exploration , learning and fun rather than focus on the results. Interesting thing is, when you do that - the beginner and the intermediate artist see great results!
YES, everyone can do this! No special talent, or ability is required.
If I learned to do this, so can anyone - HONEST! I have been a teacher for a long time and I can tell you that the more you trust the process ( and me to guide you), you can't go wrong. If I had a nickel for every adult who has told me stories of someone who, with one negative or insulting word or phrase crushed their creative efforts ....unfortunately, I'd be rich.
But we can change ALL THAT -if you give yourself permission to start anew...........I promise to encourage your beautiful, gentle creative spirit...........let's plant the seeds and watch it grow!
All skill levels are welcome in this supportive, non-critical atmosphere - come catch the creative buzz!
