HeartStudio Art Classes
Guided instruction in small group setting. The process you will begin when you come to the studio is organized but tailored to allow you to take it on at your own pace. Starting with masks you are learning about form, as you move into painting, a language of color and composition is developed, all while you relax with a nice cup of tea and studio playlists.
Call the studio for current schedule or to start a group with friends.

For more than a decade Pic Michel has specialized in designing workshops for a diverse clientelle including gifted as well as challenged youth, and professional adults.
A veteran of the early days of computer aided graphic design, Pic was the director of Graphic Design & Media Services at Burke Marketing Services, Inc. in the 1980s and went on to run her own advertising art studio specializing in logo development, collateral material, and advertising for business-to-business enterprises until she made the switch to become a full-time fine artist.
In the late 1990's, Pic learned how her early career in marketing research and advertising disciplines could help her organize art projects for talented teens when she taught for Artworks under the auspices of the Contemporary Art Center and Arts Consortium of Cincinnati. A master Toltec teacher in the tradition of don Miguel Ruiz authr of the Four Agreements, Pic's understanding of the creative process translates into beneficial lessons that are easy to embrace and implement personally and professionally.
Listed among the corporations and organizations which have employed Pic's successful workshop facilitation and coaching skills are Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Proctor and Gamble Corp., Family Services' Friends of the Children Program, The Mayerson Foundation's Service Learning Program, Beech Acres, The Children's Home of Cincinnati, and the Urban Appalachian Council of Greater Cincinnati.
