What our artists and their families say about us
Art Studio students and parents say it best:
”Nancy of the Art Studio for Children runs the most wonderful art programs. Our three kids have attended her classes over several years. They come home with beautiful pieces of art work that you will hang on your wall. In fact with one wall covered in each of their bedrooms, we are now rotating through the pieces to display. Nancy does not focus just on the end product; she carefully teaches the children the technique, so that they understand the process and learn as they are creating. She is full of warmth and care, always listening to their ideas and questions, and inspires every student to show their hidden artist within.
Recently she ran an art class at my son’s birthday party. While most were excited with the project, a couple of the boys were not so enchanted by the prospect of doing art at a party. With tremendous patience, wit and encouragement, by the end of the art time, these two boys were still, hard at work. She had turned them around and their lack of enthusiasm was dissipated – she had sparked their creative side, and they proudly went home with beautiful pieces of art.
I would highly recommended Nancy for any art program. The children will be inspired and their creativity will thrive. The parents will be pleased as they hear children excitedly describe the fun they had at art class and how they created their masterpieces.
With Nancy and her Art Studio for Children, there will many more homes proudly displaying walls full of children’s art”

“My five-year-old son, Ben, absolutely loves taking art with Nancy! She is a talented and patient teacher, who is as enthusiastic as her students. I’m constantly amazed by the beautiful creations that Ben proudly completes every week, and that I happily display throughout our house. I’ve recommended Nancy to many of my friends because she really fosters a child’s creative energy in a nurturing environment. My son and I think she’s wonderful!”

“There is nothing better than the excitement a child has when they’ve made something they are proud of. Nancy’s Art Studio classes are an incredible introduction to the wonderful world of creativity, thank you for your commitment to teaching our children”.
- Paddy, mom of Graydon (6 year old Art Studio student)
“Just a quick note to extend our sincere thanks to you for the fantastic experience you gave Caroline and all of the girls. They all obviously had the time of their lives and I can say that my kid, who is pretty smiley most of the time, has had this unbelievable 1000 watt smile on her face all day- and she hasn’t drawn a breath describing everything down to the last detail. Thanks again for taking such good care of her. “
-Anne mom of summer art campe“My favourite part about Nancy’s Art Studio Class is that the children always come home with a BEAUTIFUL and USEFUL creation. Whether it is a painting on canvas that is ready to hang, a vase, a tray, or a beaded tree trim at Christmas, everything has a home as soon as the children complete it. It has been a favourite program of both mine, my son’s and my daughter’s.”
