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.

How long have you been an artist?

I have been an artist since I was about 15. I didn’t know I could draw until I developed a crush on an artist and tried it myself. I didn’t make a lot of art while I was raising my kids, but now that they’re grown, it’s my passion!!

What is your training?

I have a Bachelors Degree in Multimedia & Visual Communication and an Associate in Arts Degree in Marketing & Design. But most of my art skills come from self-exploration and practice!

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe that anyone can be an artist! I start with teaching the fundamentals like color mixing and choosing colors, and take my students step-by-step through the process of creating a painting.
