Meet Christine Nola
I opened my studio to provide people a relaxing, inviting space to make art. My hope is that people will explore their creativity, develop their skills, and make more art!
I believe everyone can learn to make art. I teach my students how to choose and mix colors, different painting techniques, and how to create a painting from start to finish. I don’t just give my students a pre-drawn image to paint. I teach with patience and joy because those are the skills I’ve been gifted.
