Our daughter E has been in love with art since the age of 2. I've always loved to watch her use her imagination and creativity to come up with complex and deep pieces of art. We have signed her up for different art class/ studio lessons but they all seemed to fit into more of a "follow what we are showing you to do" type lesson. I saw E treat this art like work compared to something she was passionate about. After doing some solid research we found Heart4Art and have been SOo soo pleased with Sharon and the studio. Sharon lets the children decide what they'd like to do and in a very supportive and positive way, she'll guide them on techniques they may want to try. We feel very blessed to have found Heart4Art. read more

Everything happens for a reason. I wanted to start my 5 year old in art classes that were fun, age appropriate yet educational. I hadn't heard about any studios that fit my criteria....until my daughter saw the bright lights and artwork outside the studio and ran inside. Sharon fit my criteria and then some! Her technique provides students with a variety of options where they are free to explore and get creative! Her schedule is very accommodating and flexible. She's patient, she's knowledgeable and she's a mom. Thank you! read more

My son has been going to Heart4art for almost two years. My son loves his art class and speaks highly of Sharon. My son was 4 when he started and he transitioned from pastels to water colors. Sharon is a great artist and an amazing person. She gives time and attention to every child's needs. I cannot believe Sharon has so much patience, as my son only wanted to draw Cars. Sharon encouraged him into drawing beautiful landscape and of course let my son add a car to the portrait. My son loves going to art class. read more

I have 2 elementary school kids who have been going to Sharon for years. They love learning and experimenting art with Sharon, who is so patient and encouraging. I recently decided to restore a printed canvas painting which was acquired 10+ years ago. I had not painted for 20 years and had forgotten how to even start oil painting. Sharon was gracious enough to make an exception for me by giving me (an adult) some lessons. She's an amazing teacher!!! She's so patient and knowledgeable. I learned so much from her. I'm still working on the painting but my husband and kids already think the "restored painting" looks incredible. I'm inspired to continue painting again. Thank you Sharon!!! read more

Sharon's art studio has become one of my 9 year old daughter's favorite places to be. Since she started art classes with Sharon last year, she has developed a true love of art, technical ability, familiarity with different types of media and confidence in making art. She spends much of her free time at home tearing through her art supplies and making beautiful creations. I also love that Sharon is so flexible. She lets us choose the schedule that works for us. I give Sharon and her art studio my highest recommendation for being a wonderful learning environment for little artists. read more

My 6 year old granddaughter started classes with Sharon at Heart4Art this year. She absolutely loves going to each session and never has enough. When I send her for an hour, she asks for two. If it's a two hour session, she begs for three. She's already learned so much about color and using different mediums and space. The atmosphere of the workshop is extremely calm and welcoming with art made by kids hanging all around. Baylee is developing a love for all art forms and what SHE can do with her mind and heart that I believe will carry through her entire life. Thank you, Sharon. read more

I've been looking for an art school for my 10 year old daughter for over a year and finally I found Heart4Art. What I was looking for is personalized attention to grow my daughter's talent and sharpen her skills, abundance of opportunity to learn new techniques with a flexible approach to boost creativity, a fun environment without unnecessary rules. I found all those at Heart4Art. Sharon is just phenomenal. She is so good with the kids. She loves what she does and it shows so clearly. Thank you Heart4Art! read more

Sharon is an amazing art teacher. She has a lot of experience working with children and tones of patience. She knows how to match the child to what type of medium they will do best at and helps when they're having difficulties advancing. When we have to miss a week my daughter is super disappointed and wants to go on a different day. Another thing that's amazing about this studio is that they offer flexible schedule. Instead of having to conform to the studio's schedule, Sharon works with my schedule. This makes it easy for me to fit art class between the many other things I have in my schedule. A+++. Highly recommended. read more

This art studio has been wonderful for my kids. It is a nurturing environment with casual, but significant instruction by owner and artist, Sharon. I love that this place is not one of those formulaic art classes where everyone has to do the same thing. In this day and age where most public schools offer virtually no art instruction, this place has been a God send for those kids that would like an avenue to express themselves through their art while learning technique. I appreciate that Sharon has flexible hours and is reasonably priced. I can not recommend this place enough. read more

We really enjoy coming to Miss Sharon's class. She is a great teacher and can accommodate a wide range of ages, abilities and interests. The studio itself is amazing and inspirational and Sharon is very flexible with times. My girls have learned a lot and love to go art class! read more

I'm kicking myself for not bringing my 11-year-old daughter to Heart 4 Art three years ago when a friend raved about Sharon. What a find! Sharon is a passionate and down to earth art teacher. She has multiple students of various ages and levels, yet her instruction to each is clear, kind, supportive and individualized to the artist. The studio itself is a giant museum of childhood art projects and it's fun to look around. Her studio is not intimidating to a young artist and children feel at ease. My daughter is enjoying learning to work with various art techniques. read more

Sharon the owner and teacher is amazing. She is patient, dedicated and flexible. Best of all she knows her stuff. I originally sought her out for my son, because he needed some enforcement with his fine motor skills. I ended up sending all three of my children to her because I found it good for all of them. They all love it. I particularly love that the children draw what they want to draw. They don't have to start out drawing apples and oranges to learn still life drawings, they can draw cookies and ice cream instead. That makes it more interesting for my kids and I think that is what made them want to continue. read more

I couldn't be happier with my kids' experiences at Heart4Art. Sharon is kind, patient and knowledgeable and I couldn't ask for more in an Art teacher. My children LOVE going to Art class and the work they come home with is amazing. As a parent, I truly appreciate her flexibility and competitive prices but most of all, I love that my kids have such a wonderful place to go to explore their artistic abilities. Jenn O., Westlake Village, CA read more

My girls absolutely love going to Ms Sharon. I can see their technique and the way they express themselves through art has really flourished since starting our classes. A wonderful teacher - one of the aspects they love most is they can create whatever they want through her support... they get to choose instead of having that choice be made for her. We love Heart4Art! read more

Sharon at Heart4Art is top notch. She is helpful for kids at ALL age levels as well as adults. My daughter says, "Sharon is the best art teacher in the world and has taught me everything from sketching to oil painting. She is fun to talk to and she lets me be creative because I can do any picture I want, change the colors, and add stuff in. I can honestly say I am a great artist because of Sharon." read more

My 7 year old daughter truly enjoys her art class with Sharon and looks forward for it every week. Sharon is a very patient, down to earth and genuinely good person. She patiently listens to my daughter's continuous talk :-) yet emphasis on the time and the pending artwork to be completed. The studio is a amazing place with various collections of objects that captures the kids interest. The kids are allowed to pick any piece of art or object and Sharon teaches the concepts regarding that and help them draw and color it. The kids feel in control as they pick their own art work. My daughter loves it!! Sharon is also kind enough to allow me to stay in another room with my 2-year old until the class is done. She has a wonderful collection of books for little kids that my son loves to read!! In all, heart4art is a wonderful and inspiring environment for learning art. I would recommend this place to all the parents!! read more

I highly recommend Heart4Art to any parent looking for art lessons for their children. The instructor is very knowledgeable, works one on one with her students, teaches them at their own pace and instills self confidence. My children have been with her for years and I am constantly amazed at the beautiful artwork they create. Tina F., Newbury Park, CA read more

My 5 year old takes art lessons from Ms. Sharon and loves going to class. She asks continuously when she gets to go next. The level of art she completes each week far surpasses our expectations and she seems to learn a lot. I love that Ms. Sharon allows the children to be their own artist and to choose and be creative on their own projects and doesn't limit them. She is very patient and encouraging therefore she gets the results from her students. If you are looking for an art teacher Ms. Sharon is wonderful and her studio is a lot of fun for the kids. read more

I take my two kids to Heart4Art and it has been an amazing experience. Thanks to Miss Sharon, they love art so much and they look forward to coming back every time. I noticed that they both are more confident and this class has helped my little one with his self esteem. He is always showing so proudly his art work to everyone. They improved so much in their drawing and painting skills. I really like her teaching style and technique, letting the kids use their imagination and making the class so much fun. They do great pastel amazing artwork, watercolor, acrylic, etc. I have taken my kids to other art studios before and wasn't happy with the quality of teaching, and they didn't get much of personal attention. Miss Sharon gives full attention to each child, is very patient, listens to her students and gets to know them. She cares and wants her students to learn more and improve. She has always been very great communicating with parents and giving us advice on how to continue helping our kids at home. Couldn't be happier with this class for my children. Thank you Miss Sharon! read more
