Learn with Nicole Monahan

Explore . Reflect . Grow

For Kids, Teens, and Adults

Welcome to my relaxing and inspiring studio among the ferns and frogs near Seattle in Woodinville, Washington. Whether you join an art class or art camp in the studio, at a global retreat, or a specialty workshop  at a partnering venue, I look forward to help you grow in your journey with art. Let me know how you want to grow!

Now teaching kids, teens, and adults.

 

Come to the studio for the art and while you are here, walk the forest trail, look for wildlife, visit with the goats, chickens, bunnies, reptiles, and dogs!

My Philosophy

Art is more then copying a picture or another person's idea. It is about exploring and experimenting with one's individual ideas, interests, and style. Art is emotion. Art is a narrative. I support my students in a patient and calm manner. We have fun  while techniques are learned, explored and perfected. My goal is to help each student learn to truly observe the world around them, transpose that into art they are proud of and grow as an artist no matter the age or ability.

TESTIMONIALS

"I had a very nice learning experience with Nicole for the last few months. She is very talented and versatile artist. I learned a lot of new techniques, media and styles of drawing from her. She makes learning very enjoyable and relaxing at her studio which is located in the most beautiful surroundings."

"Thank you so much! Soren is not very confident or keen on drawing, but you made it super fun!!! Thank you so much for “feeling out your class” and adapting it to their temperament! It was super fun for Soren and now he’s excited to draw more! Thanks again!"
