Graduate from School of Visual Arts, guide you in your journey to find your own voice with painting and drawing.

Lia is a fantastic teacher! It had been a long time since I’d done anything art-related, and I wanted to reconnect with art while learning new skills. She made the process approachable and enjoyable from the very beginning.

Her classes are engaging, supportive, and always tailored to each student. She has a wonderful way of encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone and explore your creativity without ever making it feel intimidating. I tend to struggle with more abstract and expressive art, and Lia gently challenged me to approach it differently. She helped me pay closer attention to light, shadow, movement, and understand how they all relate to one another.

She’s patient and genuinely fun to learn from. I leave every class feeling like I’ve learned something new and seeing the world a little differently. I highly recommend her classes to anyone, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist. You’ll have a great time, learn something new, and probably surprise yourself with what you’re capable of creating.
