“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.” (Georgia O’Keeffe)
We hope everyone enjoyed holiday celebrations with family and friends. As we reflect on 2022, our hearts are filled with gratitude for all the creative experiences we’ve shared. When the studio opened in July 2021, we never imagined the incredible outpouring of support from our community and the pure joy of observing artistic growth in aspiring artists of all ages. It has been an honor to celebrate special occasions with you and to be a part of making lasting memories and new friendships. Thank You!
As we look forward to 2023, we are excited about new classes, camps, and special events. Stay tuned! Follow us on F/IG @whitepinestudiosart or visit the website.
