Savoring childhood with CREATIVITY, CONNECTION, EXPRESSION and beautiful artwork for your walls! 

Hello... I'm Meg

I live in Southern California with my husband, 3 kids, 4 chickens, 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 fish and a very tiny hamster. We love being at the beach, camping in our trailer, hiking local trails or enjoying our backyard with some good friends.

I attended to Biola University and majored in Art. After graduating, I spent some time working for a non-profit, bringing art back into the public school system. My next job was at a private school, teaching art to kindergarten through middle school. And after this, I landed my dream job… becoming a MOM! I’ve stayed home with my kids ever since, but continued to teach art out of my backyard or at our local bookshop and toy store downtown.

I was raised by a psychologist mom and custom furniture maker dad. I don't doubt that the combo of emotional health and creativity impacted who I am and how I teach.

IN 2018, I BECAME CERTIFIED THROUGH ART4HEALING TO LEAD THERAPEUTIC ART WORKSHOPS. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN INTEGRATING THESE PRACTICES INTO MY OTHER ART CLASSES AND HAVE SEEN BEAUTIFUL RESULTS.

When it comes to school for our three kids, we’ve always kept an open mind and a philosophy of “one year at a time, one kid at a time”. And so school has looked different each year. We've done public, private, and homeschool. The one consistency each year is the role that ART played in their lives and the way it benefited parts of their world. We learned though creativity, we brought art projects to do with great-grandparents at their assisted living homes, we mailed paintings and love letters to family out of state, when feelings like anger, embarrassment or confusion were sometimes shown in big unhealthy ways, we practiced expressing and sharing through doodles and colors. Sketchbooks were brought everywhere… doctors offices, long car rides, the beach, field trips and vacations. We very quickly filled up our walls, refrigerator, and printed albums that were made solely for art projects that I didn’t have room for.

I BELIEVE THAT ANYONE CAN LEARN TO FILL THEIR HOME + LIFE WITH ART AND CREATIVITY!

Let's start today ✨

We love The Art Year! Miss Meg blends technique, art history, and creativity so well! Her classes are a highlight for my kids and they come out each time with a completed beautiful piece of art and have learned so much about the artist and method used.

We have been taking art classes from Miss Meg for 9 years. It is absolutely my kids favorite class! I love it too because they are given high level quality art instruction. She encourages the kids where they are at in their art styles and abilities.  The final products turn out so good we have them on our walls as art for our home. We are so thankful we have found Miss Meg!

My girls learn so much in Miss Meg's art classes. The favorites have been where they have learned about an artist and created artwork with similar techniques that the artist used. Not only do I get beautiful quality art, but the girls gain a CONFIDENCE and KNOWLEDGE that they didn’t have before taking the class.

We love having Miss Meg as our art teacher! The course videos are easy to follow and explained so beautifully. Her voice and personality make her a joy to listen to and follow along. We have amazing art in our home now and love having a COMPLETE art program. Not only are we learning to BE great artists, we are learning ABOUT famous artists along with techniques that will last us a lifetime! I bought this for my children, but have joined in on the fun too!

After class my daughter shared "In the therapeutic art class, Miss Meg helped me get some of my feelings out that I didn't even know were there."

My daughter loves Miss Meg's classes so much and looks forward to it each week. It's really brought out her creativity and she paints and draws more than she ever did before!
