Our Teachers
Kate
Kate teaches our Zoom Drawing, Sketch and Tween/Teen, and Digital art classes. She also is a content creator for the studio.
I am a multidisciplinary artist and freelance illustrator located in Orange County, CA! I am a recent graduate of Laguna College of Art and Design with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Entertainment Design, and I am trained in classical drawing and painting, sculpture, animation, visual storytelling, game development, and concept design. I discovered my love for teaching while employed as a tutor by LCAD and have been teaching art to kids and adults of all ages ever since. I create a lot of my art digitally, but I also enjoy painting with oils and gouache, sketching landscapes en plein air, creating tiny paintings, and woodburning. I am also working on building my own video game. I love finding new ways to create art, and showing others how to discover their creative energy and exploratory mindset. I find constant inspiration through hiking and discovering new places, listening to music, and playing games.

Cara
Cara teaches our in-studio Tween/Teen classes and our Zoom Watercolor for Adults class.
When I opened the studio, I knew I'd wanted a relaxed and supportive, judgment-free space, where we might strive for perfection but know that we’ll never get there. Having taught for 18+ years in both public and private schools, I realize the importance for everyone to experience creative expression. I am formally trained in watercolor painting, hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History and Art Education from the University of California, Santa Cruz and completed my graduate work in Art Education and Fine Arts at CSUN. When I’m not in the studio, I can be found outside, reading a good book, painting, or hanging with my husband and our super cute kiddo.
