The Wizard of Art

This is a wonderful, cozy environment for your children to learn about art, from the beginner, to the intermediate, to the most advanced artist. Paul is an amazing teacher, a wonderful artist and together with Donna. they create the perfect ambience for creativity.

A great place for all ages. My daughters not only learned art skills, they learned patience. At Wizard they learned to focus on a piece until it was done which might take a few classes. Paul and his staff are incredible cheerleaders who guide and yet allow for individual creative freedom. The class is small which allows for plenty of 1 on 1 time and is a quiet peaceful moment in one’s day. They have a yearly art show for the students to appreciate everyone’s best works and have theirs appreciated as well. Many of the students who stay with the class go on to art school. Mine were at Wizard from age three into their teens. They did the summer camp programs when they were little to in their tweens. As they progressed they took hour and a half afternoon classes. They were eventually accepted into an audition-​only art high school. They got into competitive summer pre-​college programs and just entered top-​tier arts colleges on scholarship. Most importantly, they love art and that all started from this amazing place.

6 years and counting. We still love this local spot. Donna and Paul are wonderful in every way.

My kids started when my son was 6 and my daughter 9. Both quickly became invested in creating art and now 2 years later consider themselves artists before anything else. They get a lot of freedom to pick their own subjects and skilled instruction to bring their projects to fruition. «Draw what you see» is their philosophy for beginners, graduation to acrylics and oils as they are ready. Best $ 100/​month I ever spend.

My 10 year old loves The Wizard of Art. It is a calm environment and she gets a lot of one on one instruction from the instructors. She did a week of camp and wanted to continue the entire summer.

We have been attending classes here for 10 years. Sitting here, I am compelled to write a review as this is quite simply the most amazing place to take art classes!
If you’re 5 or 55, Paul and Donna will make you feel at home, hone your skills, and your kids will learn to love art!
Don’t go anywhere else!

My 5 year old daughter takes art lessons here and loves it. She was so proud to have one of her works displayed in a show, and is growing every week as an artist.
I write very few reviews, but the humanity Paul and Donna showed our family after a tragedy was overwhelming, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
