Learn with Nicole Monahan

Explore . Reflect . Grow

For Kids, Teens, and Adults

Welcome to my unique, relaxing and inspiring art studio among the ferns and frogs near Seattle in Woodinville, Washington. Stop by for a one time art experience by yourself, with your family or friends or on a date!  Come for the fun, stay for the skill and become a weekly or frequent student! Whether you hire me for custom illustrations, join an art class or art camp at the forest 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 Drawing, Painting, Printmaking and sculpture classes for 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!

Learn valuable techniques to excel your skills to draw & paint locally, on-line, and on retreats around the world.

In addition to my studio classes, I currently teach Beginning Drawing  and Intermediate Drawing at Bellevue College, Botanical Drawing at Bellevue Botanical Garden, Drawing and Sketching classes at Woodincreek Village, and Watercolor classes at Britney Park Independent Living.

If you would like me to teach or present at your venue or event, please let me know! 

My Philosophy

Art is more then copying a picture or another person's idea. Art 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 drawing and painting techniques are learned, explored and perfected. My goal is to help you learn to naturally observe the world around you. See the lighting, perspective, proportions, changes with seasons, anatomy, and so much more. Then transpose that skill into art you are proud of.  I strive to help you

grow as an artist no matter the age or ability. My students include the beginner to more sophisticated artist.

I teach the young child, teen, adults and elders.

Classes are held in my studio, on-line, Bellevue College, Bellevue Botanical Gardens,

Britney Park, King County Library, Woodin Creek and on Art and Yoga retreats around the world.

Join me to explore art!
