Private Art Lessons I recently bought a home in Rocky Point with a detached garage which my husband, Stelios, and I will use as our teaching art studio. Private art lessons are a wonderful way to hone your child's technical abilities in a variety of artistic areas. I can also help your child strengthen his or her portfolio for college, as I understand the specific requirements of many competitive art universities. Private lessons range from $25 per hour-$40 per hour depending on the materials and preparation I will need to run the session. Please e-mail or call me at (631) 943-6760 if you would like a free consultation or to schedule an appointment.


Group art lessons from my home I am always open to running group or collaborative art sessions from my home in Rocky Point. Groups can range from students who have special needs, to students who have a shared artistic interest. Whatever your vision, I can make it happen. I am always open to ideas. I would work out a group rate ranging from $15-$20 er hour per student depending on materials and preparation. Please e-mail or call me at (631) 943-6760 if you would like a free consultation or to schedule an appointment.
