Where artists grow.
“Everyone working
under this roof is
focused on giving
our students exactly what they need
at different points
in their lives.”
Dear Families,
When I first built the studio 17 years ago, I would
never have imagined the level of love, talent and
teamwork we get to share in each day. I am so very
thankful to have a group of students and families
that want to dream big along side the teachers and
me. Everyone working under this roof is focused on
giving our students exactly what they need at different points in their lives. It might be a word of encouragement, help outlining goals, or a timely correction.
Sure enough, each year we’re amazed by the artistic
growth that starts to flourish here.
Thank you for entrusting your young artists to our
program. We look forward to seeing you in the studio
and on the stage soon!
