Studio Art Classes
Studio Art Offerings
Creativity abounds and age knows no limits. I offer After School Sessions, Adult Classes, Saturday Workshops and Summer Sessions.
Each class is a new opportunity to use an unknown medium, try a new style or create your own. If I can use it, so can you. My mission is to show you how it all works, yours is to be as creative as possible. Whether through guided lessons, I like to play Simon Says with the littles, or as a project completely designed by you and I just drop little bits of knowledge to guide you along, we work together to achieve a quality piece of art to be proud of.

ADULT ART CAMPS!
Are you feeling a creative pull? An urge to embroider but don't know where to start? Want to paint, but have never even tried? You just want to color. Maybe learn to draw your own.
I invite you to try River City Art
ADULT ART CAMP!
Were you artsy in school, but now you're an adult with a job or family life and "no time"? Well versed with a brush or a pen but just don't have the set up or space at home, but given a studio full of possibilities, you are in your element? Or are you a complete novice but you have this desire to learn and try? Whether it's a coloring page from a book or you create your own, or you want to paint but it makes you nervous to start? We can design and draw your own or there is always a paint by number if you need it. Creativity doesn't care how you get there. If you are taking a vacation week at home or just a day off, WELCOME to RIVER CITY! Teachers, Moms, Dads, anyone really... come spend an hour or a day in the studio.
2 hrs $45
4 hours+ $100
ALL supplies included
Saturday Kid Workshops
Kids have busier schedules than most adults I know... sometimes a little creative meditation is just what they need to reset after a busy week.
I am creating a few monthly workshops for kids, mid morning, 2 hours.. just enough time but not too much. Guided projects to keep them on task, but the vision and results are purely their own.
Summer Schedules will be a little lighter in July and August.
Commissioned Art
A new year is always the best time for new art. Well, any time is always the best time for new art... Visit my commission gallery in the portfolio section to see my past works and let me know if I can help create something for your walls, or barn if that's your thing. New business? I can help create a one of a kind logo. Whatever your creative needs are, I can help with that.

Kate
This is where you want to learn about me, so here it goes..
I am a multi media artist, with a love for flowers, trees and old cars. With over 35 years of creative experience and a continued love of learning and practice, I offer my skillset and open my studio to others that crave the creativity. I blend multiple styles, mediums and techniques to create a unique portfolio and I teach others to do the same. My work has been used by Bromley Mountain in Vt for season passes and lift tickets and that work was recognized by the Ct Art Directors Club with a Silver Award and an Excellence Award. I do logo design for local businesses and have done commissioned work for many others including Core Cannabis Museum, Matterhorn Mini Golf, Hot Pineapple Productions in Boston, GardenHouse Florist in Meridan, Cherrybrook Primary School, Remedy One Ct, Meta Garden Services, Art Force One in Miami and many private collectors. My almost full portfolio is on Instagram at KMcA.Fine Art if you would like to see the evolution over the years.
