Creative expression is crucial to a healthy, full life. Begin developing yours (and your child's) now in this joyful and nurturing environment.
Shabala Art & Yoga Studio is just north of Kingston, in Kitsap County, WA. In Art classes (of 8 or fewer students) children, teens, and adults can learn to draw, paint, and express themselves creatively. At Shabala Studio, art students improve their skills in a fun and encouraging atmosphere, supported through a Constructivist approach to find their own way to make art. Here, students "construct" personally relevant understandings as they work on projects designed to encourage connections with individual prior knowledge. Ongoing art education has been proven to enhance problem-solving, mathematical, and literacy skills -- and it simply makes life more fun!

About the Artist
I have been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil; it's an extension of my hand and of my thinking. As an elementary student my artwork was often selected for exhibition, and when I was asked, "How do you make it look like that?" I'd gather my friends together and show them.
I have taught professionally for over 20 years--preschool through adult, including Rutgers and Humboldt State Universities and six years as the Art Specialist at Poulsbo Elementary.
