My journey began in Philadelphia with parents who were artists and teachers. My Dad was then the dean of Tyler School of Art and my Mom was a painter who taught as well. My Dad became the Dean of Yale School of Art and remained there for 13 years until his retirement which brought our family to Guilford. To say that art and art making was an important and honored pursuit in our family would be to state it lightly and I grew up taking art classes at local Community Art Centers, Colleges and of course, created at home.
After graduating from RISD and pursuing my painting career, I settled in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where my husband and I raised our son.
I started Art Matters Studio in 2013 as a home based studio in response to the lack of art classes and opportunities for children in our (then) local school system and in the community in general. After outgrowing two locations, we made a major decision and moved back to Guilford. Art Matters Studio in Madison was established in January of 2023.
We pride ourselves on offering 4 levels of art classes so that your child can grow with us. Programs for young artists focus on sensory based art experiences.
As your child grows, art foundations, techniques and skills are introduced in an age appropriate and encouraging way. We know how busy your kids are and we offer very flexible enrollment options. Choose the programs that works best for you- from one day workshops and drop in programs to multi week sessions. Summer and Schools Out camps provide fun opportunities for children on the holidays and our popular "Arty Parties" offer creative celebrations for birthday and other events.
See you at the Studio!
