Studio Stories
Projects taught and lessons learned from two
art teachers, sisters and art studio owners
Welcome to our little blog!
When considering how to celebrate our 10yrs of Little Art House, we realized it’s time to get some of our stories down. From the early days to now, we have learned SO MUCH, seen some things, had some amazing art projects and some serious flops. Through it all, we’ve grown as art teachers, sisters, and business partners. It’s our community and shared experiences that have made it so incredibly special and motivates us to keep imagining, exploring and creating at Little Art House :)
We hope to create with you soon!

Little Art House: Imagine, Explore, Create.
How we decided to on the name, Little Art House, what it means to us and the importance of “Imagine, Explore, Create”.
When we were little, Emma and I would spend hours playing pretend. We would pretend to be the Boxcar children (IYKYK) and pack satchels for our journey in the woods, we’d pretend to be Belle and dance and swing our way around the house to Beauty and the Beast songs, and, of course, we played pretend school. We’d try to take turns as the teacher but being the oldest daughter, I tended to grab that role. Teaching was modeled to us by our mother and grandmother, both public school teachers for a total of almost 50 years between them so we always respected teachers and the process of education. Learning was embedded in our daily life (as our grandmother always says “we’re life long learners”).
