What Students Say

★★★★★

I was interested in doing illustrations for some educational material. Ying help me find my inner artist. She was patient, insightful and creative. She can take someone with no artistic background and show them what’s been inside them all along.

★★★★★

I’ve always loved painting & have taken oil painting classes in the past, never able to achieve a level that I desired. Until I met YingYing who was immediately able to isolate my weaknesses and teach me to overcome them. She’s an amazing instructor who not only knows her craft, but is able to pass her knowledge to students. Her studio is local to me & I love seeing the beautiful paintings she has previously done…

My son has been with Ying Ying for a couple years. He developed strong interest in art since he was very young however it took us long time to find a desired private art class until we met this studio. My son loves it! She is a great teacher and respect student’s opinion. Her private class is custom-made by each student’s interest and specialty. She is patient and really help the students develop their own technique. My son really enjoy it!
