Art is inherently healing.
We don't focus on technique.
We play.
We paint.
We heal
through art making.
EXPRESSED ARTIST
is a small group painting class for adults
in Atwater Village, Los Angeles
Why Expressive Arts Painting?
When I make art, I simply feel better – more alive, more expressed, and part of something bigger. I want to share this gift with others and give people a place to express themselves in this fun and colorful modality. Expressed Artist Paint Studio is a place for adults to come and play, paint, and heal through art-making. These classes are not therapy, but deeply transformational. I watch my students open up over time as they develop their individual painting styles and start to let go of the critical voice and develop a relationship with their inner artist.
You don’t need painting experience to take these classes. You just need the desire to paint & a willingness to explore. There are no rules in art making. It can be anything.

“Art class in school was very traumatic and I haven't painted since I was about six. Anita's instructions for getting started were so simple and expansive, I ended up painting two pieces that have been in my head my whole life. I keep looking at this painting that I made and I feel proud of it. I was surprised at how fun and easy it was to be creative.” - Rob H.
