My daughter and I moved to Virginia Beach in August of 2015, and with her school schedule it did not allow for an art class. I happen to see the studio driving by on the road and looked further into it, but what sold me on it was when we walked in and although we didn't have an appt. Mrs. Tatiana took the time after she finished with her student to introduce herself, show us around the studio, and my daughter and I knew that she had to take classes at this studio. We felt the magic immediately. The transformation I saw from my daughter was more than just enhancing her skills as an artist, Mrs. Tatiana was able to help my type A daughter loosen up, let go a little, have fun. She introduced her and helped her feel comfortable with the other students, because it was a struggle being the new girl, not just in art class, but in a new school. Tatiana is a gifted teacher, she pulls from the strengths of each individual student and has a way of making them feel as if they are the only student in the class while managing 8-9 students at a time. She is passionate and full of emotion and cares about what she does. My daughter fell in love with this studio and her teacher. There aren't any words to describe how much Mrs. Tatiana meant to us. The talent this wonderful teacher has, and creativeness she inspires and captures in her students is simply amazing. read more

Our daughter has shown an interest in art for most of her young life. When I decided to invest in private art classes, I searched the Internet for someone with excellent reviews and a great portfolio to match. From our first meeting with Ms.Tatiana, I knew we had found the perfect place for our daughter to grow and learn in a safe and fun environment. Over the past two years I have watched my daughters love for art continue while also improving on all levels of medium. Ms.Tatiana is always there to give helpful advice and input without stifling the students vision. My daughter loves going to art every week, and I would without a doubt recommend 100% her classes to anyone young or old. The time and money we have invested in her classes have been 100% worth it. If you are looking for a wonderful, caring, safe environment for your child to expand their love for art, look no further, she is the best! read more

I have known Tatyana as an artist and as a person for many years. She is an amazing artist! All her paintings are absolutely magical. They are filled with light, purity, love and grace. She is a fantastic art teacher who encourages and inspires her students to see the beauty of the world around and teaches them techniques of how to reveal this beauty in the brush strokes and colors. The drawings of her students show how skillfully they can reveal an air, light and a mood in colors. Regardless of a child age, Tatiana finds an approach to everyone and makes children fall in love with the painting. Tatyana is not only talanted artist and art teacher, but is one of the most generous, kind and beautiful people I have ever met! You will like her from a very first sight. Your children will love her! In her studio they will plunge into the atmosphere of art magic and will be happy to attend her classes. read more

My daughter has always shown an incentive for art since she was very little. When she turned 11 my wife and I thought it was time to get her some real lessons. We tried a couple of other schools and we practically ruined her gift for drawing. She needed nurturing; not a task master where she is required to follow the way the teacher did it, and ONLY the way the teacher did it. When we met Ms. Tatiana, my daughter said THIS was the kind of person she wanted to learn from. Ms. Tataina is able to recognize your child's skill set and she nurtures it. She will take any medium, collage, acrylics, charcoal -you name it- and she will help your child to master it. My wife and I are very grateful to have our daughter learn from the Magic Of Art Studio. Our daughter has been there 3 years, now. read more

My daughter has always had a passion for art and has been attending the Magic of Art Studio for 3 years. Ms. Tatiana's approach is genius!!! Students come to each session with an idea that they share with Ms. Tatiana and each share their perspective that results in how to create the work of art based on an agreed upon approach. This technique has been such a positive experience for my daughter and has enabled her to expand her skills into different mediums (i.e water color, colored pencil, acrylic paint) and has given her the confidence to try new ideas on her own!!! We are so thankful we found the Magic of Art Studio and the fun and growing experience it has had on my daughter.  Ms. Tatiana is truly a kind and patient person and has an an ora about her that people want to be around!!!! read more

We love Magic of Art Studio! My daughter first was introduced to Ms. Tatiana when we decided to send her to the summer camp two years ago. My daughter loved it and at the end of the week she had three amazing pieces of art that she had created. She has been going weekly ever since. Ms. Tatiana is very patient, carefully explaining and demonstrating how to create techniques. She has worked with us when my daughter's hectic schedule caused her to be late to classes, even offering private, semi-private, and group lessons to allow my daughter to continue her love of art and honing in of her skills. Highly recommend Magic of Art and Ms. Tatiana to anyone who is looking for an art teacher who will encourage and teach them! read more

I have been a student at the Magic of Arts Studio for the past 3 years, and Ms.Tatianna has been a wonderful art teacher! Going to art class is one of the highlights of my week, and it is a great place for me to go and express my creativity. Ms.Tatianna is extremely talented and is great with helping unlocking children's imaginations to be able to think of and draw things that are very unique and beautiful. She has helped me with any art style that I felt like experimenting with, and she is always there to give a kind comment or helpful instruction. All in all, I feel like The Magic of Arts Studio is a fun and great place for those of any age to come and develop their passion for art. read more

This is my mom's studio, but I just have to say, when someone with real talent and skill shows a genuine passion for what they do, the result is truly remarkable! As the old adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words - and just one look at the artwork created by these students says it all. The joy on the students' faces every time they walk through the door exemplifies the goal of Magic of Art; as you can immediately tell when a child releases his/her imagination without reservation or fear of judgment. This is really an amazing place, and if you are interested in art for yourself or your children, I suggest you stop by! read more

My daughter has always shown an interest in art. I decided to get her lessons outside of school. I researched different studios and called Magic of Art Studio. My daughter tried a free class and she's been going for almost a year now. Tatiana, the owner, is very patient and extremely knowledgeable. She told me she will push a child to do their very best if she can see their potential. I'm glad she does that because my daughter can now see what she can create when she's encouraged to go the extra mile. I highly recommend giving Magic of Art Studio a try. read more

Magic of Art Studio Rocks! My daughter had the privilege of being a student at the Magic of Art Studio for over three years, during that time she learned to express herself through a variety of art mediums and her artwork grew by leaps and bounds. Mrs. Tatiana was the catalyst for such growth; she instilled confidence within my daughter and managed to tap into the depths of her artistic creativity. Mrs. Tatiana is a patient and loving teacher and works well with young people; she knows how to draw out their fullest potential!! read more

I absolutely agree with Anne. Our daughter has attended both the yearly classes and summer camp not only enjoying them immensely but she is also learning the fundamentals of art. Tatiana encourages the children to choose their own inspiration and then actively works with them to help translate that inspiration to their own individual work. Tatiana is wonderful with children of all ages, skill level and interest and we are thankful for her commitment to inspiring young artists! read more

My son has been going to Magic of Art Studio for a bit over 2 years and I wish I would have found it so much earlier. I love that Ms. Tatiana allows the child the freedom to try any medium and is there to help them with the process as they learn new techniques that she reveals. My son has grown so much during his time in her classroom and has tried different forms of art and each a beautiful creation. Send your child or take classes yourself, you will be amazed at the outcome. read more

Tatiana is a wonderfully talented artist and teacher. She has given me the ability to formulate and compose my works. She is there to guide and show me correct methods when I encounter something new, and is there to correct me when applying the wrong technique. I'm new to painting and as an adult sometimes to critical of my work, and she is there to encourage and show me the positives. I enjoy her private lessons very much, and will continue. read more

Ms. Tatiana teaches not only how to paint well but overall techniques, perspective and qualities of being a great artist. Her studio is a safe, nurturing environment where your "inner artist" truly comes out! The only problem with her art classes is t you don't want to leave when the hour is up! I am inspired to try things I wouldn't paint at home.... she really pulls the best out of each student! Love her! read more

Mrs Tatiana is absolutely incredible teacher and artist. She definitely has the gift from God to inspire kids to create, open their hidden talents and let their passion of creation flow into the world, buildings kids confidence and believe in themselves. We are so sad that she is leaving, and happy to the kids who will have a chance to experience this amazing teacher and work in her studio. read more

Tatiana nurtured my daughter's innate artistic talent. She started at a young age and took Tatiana's classes for about three years, coaching her in color and line. My daughter then made it into the Virginia Beach gifted art program at Old Donation and has continued with Virginia Beach Middle's gifted art program. She wouldn't be where she is today without Tatiana! read more

We found Magic of Art and Tatiana two years ago and my daughter would not want to go anywhere else.

I would highly recommend her for all who have a passion for art - from beginners to more advanced students who want to develop their skills. read more

I've been in Ms.Tatiana's class for a few years and I love her! She is a fabulous art teacher and is there when you need her help.
