Meet Naomi…

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for stopping by! I started Serene Art Studio when a friend mentioned she wanted to have a birthday art class where she and her friends could relax, catch up and of course paint! I immediately said “why don’t we do it in my studio? I could run the class for you”. And so began Serene Art Studio.

Since then, I have been holding art / craft classes, teaching art history, private group parties, portfolio sessions, as well as guest speaking and doing workshop classes at primary and high schools.

My hope is to encourage people of all ages to try and experience art in some form. To create a safe space where people can gather to create, not be judged, make new friendships and thrive through the magical experience of art.

For those questioning whether art is for them, I simply answer that one is never “bad at art”. Art is merely freedom of expression and no one should judge that. If your art makes you happy, that is all that matters.

I look forward to hopefully seeing you in the studio soon!

  • "I've done two classes with Naomi, and I can't recommend her enough. Sitting in her studio creating art with friends was such a welcome change of pace. With her guidance and support, I actually created something I was proud of!"

  • "We booked a private lesson for a family party of 8 adults and 2 children and had the most amazing experience. Naomi ensured that everyone pushed themselves and achieved their goals, coming away with a piece of art they were proud of. I would definitely reccomend!
