My teaching philosophy is simple: give my students all the tools they need to paint the images in their heads. I'm not interested in making carbon copies of myself, but in growing your artistic potential. Through individual lessons in a group setting, I will guide you through basic to advanced concepts using whatever materials you wish to learn.

Want to do realistic oils, abstract watercolors, comic pencil sketches, news style satires, large colorful acrylics? Whatever your interest the basic theories are the same. I'll make sure you learn them and have fun along the way.  

Please e-mail classes@ArtByArchen.com for more information or to reserve your space.

Schedule a party!

Want a new & interesting thing to do for your birthday, girls' night out, bridal party, anniversary, etc.? Schedule a creative party with Archen! Parties are priced at $35 per person and may be personalized to your specifications. Drinks and snacks are welcome. They may be hosted at Archen's studio, or for a travel fee at the site of your choice. Here are a few ideas:

Making Wearable Masks

Explore different methods of making masks for Wall decoration, Mardi Gras, Halloween, Costuming, or just plain fun!

Personalized Wooden Purses

Using a variety of materials and techniques, turn a plain wooden purse or briefcase into a work of art you can carry with you!

Intoxicating Art

Paint along with Archen as she shows you step by step how to complete a painting. This is a great low-stress way to try painting. BYOB Warning: painting under the influence has been know to be extremely fun and cause unexpected laughter.

Exploring the Subconscious through Art

Using abstract painting methods and your own personal photos and quotes create a painting full of self-expression.
