I am an internationally recognized brain scientist. I teach visual thinkers to become better at verbal attention-memory-processing. To better understand my visual clients, I enrolled in art classes at The Art Studio NY and have continued to take classes to this day. My skills as an artist have improved dramatically.

“When I first started to paint at The Art Studio NY, I hadn’t picked up my brushes since graduating from art school (many, many years ago!). I was nervous and unsure but so excited to have found a warm, nurturing, fun and energetic environment to bring back my creative freedom and ability to paint. I can now say that I have found my voice, my passion and that I am an artist living and working in NYC. If you want the freedom to express yourself visually in a great studio space with great people, The Art Studio NY is that place…hope to see you there!”

Hands down, THE ART STUDIO NY is by far the #1 art studio for art classes in NYC!! Rebecca’s THE ART STUDIO NY is such a great time – and I’ve really never considered myself an artistic person. First of all, the vibes are friendly and the free wine sets the tone beautifully. Second, it is totally laid back with instructors who really customize their approach for each client. They keep the classes intimate so they are able to cater to each person’s needs and help them reach their own creative style.

Coming as a total beginner, I would like to emphasize the artistic ‘fire’ that The Art Studio NY has set in me. Concentrating on my art every week erases the rest of the world and results in feelings of calm, peace and relaxation. The unique approach at THE ART STUDIO NY is irreplaceable.
