A full-time Artist and Art Teacher in drawing and painting with extensive experience. My artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally including solo shows in New York’s galleries.

Elena was amazing. She was incredibly patient and thoughtful. She was wonderfully imaginative coming up with new ideas and had a lot to offer in teaching painting. Can’t recommend enough.

Elena was very knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciated her patience and understanding. She was able to provide a nice demonstration which helped me along. Now I feel more comfortable moving forward with my painting. It is my first oil painting ever. But Elena's explanation helped me make it!

I just had my first painting lesson with Elena, and it was a super cool experience! Elena is very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. We first discussed what I wanted to learn and she offered several options for a lesson. She explained color theory and how to mix colors and use pallet knives in a very clear way. She is very focused and attentive and working with her allows for a fun time as well. Her guidance was consistent and led me to a great result. I couldn’t believe what I painted for my first attempt at oil painting. She set up a comfortable environment in her studio and it was inspiring to see an artist work and use different tools to create. I was very happy with the entire experience. Highly recommended!

Elena is both a skilled artist and a dedicated teacher. She is responsible and takes her role seriously, always ensuring that her students are on the right track. Elena's kindness makes her approachable, and it's evident she genuinely cares about her students' needs. She listens attentively and provides guidance tailored to what I specifically require. Conversations with Elena are enjoyable, and she consistently creates a positive learning environment. Through her direction, I've felt more confident in my oil painting endeavors. Her commitment to teaching goes beyond just technical skills; she thinks deeply about how to support each individual's artistic journey. I appreciate the valuable time and insights she offers in each lesson. I can comfortably recommend Elena to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable art teacher.
