All classes developed and taught by experienced art educator and artist, Kathy Leader, owner of The Art Process Studio.The teacher acts as a gentle guide, facilitator and collaborator.

“We are truly grateful to have found Kathy. My daughter has benefitted from her sessions beyond what I could have never imagined. Kathy is truly an outstanding art teacher. But, she is so much more than that. Technique is only a fraction of what she is teaching. Kathy has this unique desire and ability to encourage creativity, to guide, and support the creative progress. Thus, a session with her becomes a creative journey and experience as opposed to time spent creating a product. I have had the opportunity to sit in and experience her method during several virtual sessions with my daughter. It is actually entertaining and fascinating to see how she is able to connect and foster exploration. She doesn’t have a curriculum or script she is following. And this is so important to her unique method. She has a gift and has obviously worked to optimize how she shares this with others. She is truly an ideal teacher to engage a student and guide them to find the artist within themselves. This is no easy task, but Kathy is exceptional at making this work.”
