This summer I have small outdoor art camps and art classes. All classes & camps are held outside and classes will be a flexible drop-in method to be flexible in this uncertain time. This is a great way to enjoy nature & do some art as your schedule allows and will not expire for 2 years! we will be drawing, sketching and painting. This will be a great time to teach plaine aire painting! With the flexibility of the pass, I can vary what we do based on who shows up and what they want to learn.

Art Classes & Art Camps will be held in the shade of the trees by a small creek. We have plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time in the little forest. If you do not feel comfortable out and about yet, you can join art class online, virtually! 

For art classes, buy a 3-class Flexpass and use it for any class of your choosing. It can be used by different people anytime you want over the next two years. These Flex-pass can even be used to join the class virtually. My goal is to be as flexible as possible right now. If you don't feel well or have been traveling please stay home and with the flex-pass you do not loose out on your money. Simply use it another time once you are in the clear. These passes will be good for 2 years. If the state mandates another stay at home, we will postpone classes until it is safe to return.

​

We will do temperature checks upon arrival, sanitizing, no sharing of materials, and social distancing. Masks will be required if you would like to be within 6 feet of someone and when I walk around to help, but there is plenty of room to spread far out enough to take your mask off and enjoy fresh air out in the forest. I want you to feel safe and have fun!

"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."

~Jennifer

"Nicole was a blessing. I looked all over for a class to fit my grandkids schedule and couldn't find one....Nicole was one of the artists to reply. She gave them a safe and exceptional environment in which to learn. She worked with me on hours, scheduling, and price. I highly recommend Nicole Monahan!"

"I took a friend and we had such a great time. Will go back :)"

"... we just went last night. What an amazing experience! Their studio is in a breathtaking location with a view of the forest and a stream. The instruction was good, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. It was fun chatting with the other pairs while expressing ourselves creatively. Highly recommend!"

"This is the east-side's best kept secret!"
