Hey there,

I am Ilana. Love brought me to America a decade ago, and it’s been an adventure ever since.

Originally from Israel, I landed in the vibrant city of NYC, surrounded by art that truly inspired my soul. Pursuing my art degree at the School of Visual Arts was a big achievement, and I cherished every moment of exploring the streets of Manhattan, visiting art museums, and savoring delicious food.

After a wonderful time in NYC, Sam and I made the decision to move to the suburbs of New Jersey. Here, life took on a new and fulfilling chapter. Here, I could create a beautiful family unit and be surrounded by nature's beauty. Instead of skyscrapers, we have lush greenery, and my kids have all the space to run and play freely

Ever since I was young, I knew I'd open an art studio to share my love and knowledge of art with others. When COVID hit, I found this space and turned it into my art spot. Soon enough, it became a favorite hangout for my family. My kids and their friends built cardboard houses, collaborated on giant artworks, and let their imaginations soar. Those creative times were truly special.

As COVID brought challenges, running classes became more complex, but I saw art as a necessary activity, especially for kids during times of isolation and uncertainty. Witnessing their excitement to return to the studio where they could unleash their creativity was heartwarming.

Now, my studio runs multiple art classes for kids ages 3-13, and it's a dream come true for me. Being part of these young artists' creative journey fills me with immense joy and gratitude.

I love working with kids and creating beautiful memories together. I look forward to meeting your kids and being a part of their creative journey!

Let's explore the world of art and imagination together, and make unforgettable moments along the way!
