Star Phoenix chose as one of their top most memorable 2022 quotes:

I constantly see people find the incredible artistic talent that is sitting in them, but they just need some instruction on how to pull it out. There are so many people that say they couldn’t even draw a stick man and I tell them, I want you to come because I know I can teach you. I have yet to find one student that isn’t incredibly talented.
— Christina Thoen, Star Phoenix Jan.7/2022

"All of these paintings are masterpieces, each with a unique story and inspiration behind them. How can I possibly pick one as the best? But if I have to make a choice, I will go with my daughter's painting. It is not just a beautiful painting, it is also a life-changer. This painting opened my daughter's eyes and transformed her perspective of the world. It gave her self-confidence, because now she can express herself through painting, and that is amazing! There is nothing that is more important in our world than the ability to share our feelings about our surroundings, and Christina has taught my daughter that painting is one of the ways to do that."

-Sareh Miranzadeh (mom) of daughter at 10 years old

"Christina is such a joyful person. She has a very bubbly personality, and she's kind of been a constant in my life, I've known her and I've seen her every week for an hour for the last 10 years since I was so young and it's really been a positive influence on me to learn how to be more positive and how she sees the world in a more artistic way.”

— Phoenix Galbraith at 17 years old

“It is the best thing I have done. I have grown as an artist and as a person. It is like therapy, takes me to place of wonder and is very satisfying. There is an accomplishment and excitement of seeing your art come to life. The class setting is very positive & productive. I learn something about art & life each class. Also the atmosphere, Christina & students are wonderful. I feel really valued at art class.”

— Marj Somers, Adult

We teach to each students unique artistic style and growth.

Classes are developmental, yet individually modified to each students needs.

 

Students with no prior instruction have:

  • found personal satisfaction, a new outlet of joy, & realized artistic talents that they never knew they had!

  • developed portfolios to be admitted into post-secondary schooling to further their education in a field where artistic ability is required (architecture, graphic design, art schools, etc.)

  • started their own art groups & sold their artwork

  • printed limited edition prints and art cards

  • completed commissioned artworks and murals

  • had artwork juried into prominent art shows and won awards
