ABOUT SKETCH
Welcome to Sketch!
Hello and thank you for visiting Sketch Art Studio! I’m Andrea and, together with my amazing team, I run this creative space.
The idea for Sketch came about as I was searching for art classes for my own children. I wanted classes that would grow with them and consistently provide quality art instruction and exposure to different art techniques.
I looked for a joyful and inspiring space that my kids would love to visit, but I needed one that was conveniently located and worked with their crazy schedules. Years later, with these goals in mind plus lots of research and the best kind of work, Sketch Art Studio was born.
