One of my children has gone on to get her bachelor's degree in art teaching. She was definitely inspired by Susie!

About this Academy
Have you ever seen a sunset that was so beautiful and you had the desire to capture the moment forever? We would like to share how you can!
Come enjoy a weekly evening of fun by learning to see the beautiful complexities of nature. In this beginner class, students will be trained on how to paint landscapes both in the classroom and plein air.
Students will learn the irony of how to capture a moment in time even while the world around is teeming with life, and be taught the foundational basic skills of value study, drawing, color mixing and painting.

FAQ'S
Do I sign a contract if accepted in to the program?
Nope. You can start and stop at any time. Our classes are ongoing year-round.
Is there an enrollment fee?
Yes. There is an enrollment fee of $40 per student that will be automatically charged (1) at the time a new student enrolls and (2) every September thereafter.
The enrollment fee covers the costs of receiving a brand new studio t-shirt each September. It also covers the costs of classroom expenses and special studio events like open houses, art shows and contests.
How is tuition paid?
Tuition is paid through an automatic withdrawal on the 25th of every month. This automatic process is set up at the time of enrollment.
You can access the Student Portal via the Quick Links in the footer below to personally update credit card or other information as needed.
If you decide to drop a class, you must let us know before the 20th so that you are not charged for the following month. You can find a breakdown of the classes each tuition payment covers here.
What happens if I miss a class?
We do our best to help students understand what they missed so they can continue where they left off. Because our teachers are here ready to teach every class time, tuition is not reimbursed for missed classes.
