As technology advances and AI impacts our world, there has never been a more important time to instill the value of grand ideas, ingenuity, a passionate pursuit, and craftsmanship as respectable and invaluable assets for a thriving society. Carrying forward connection, tradition, and legacy of the human head, heart, and hand brings balance and meaning to our fast-paced world.

Let us come together to help our youth bridge academics with art—unlocking both the analytical and creative mind. In doing so, ignite student engagement, fuel aspirations, and empower the next
generation to shape the future with
vision and purpose!

Our family absolutely loves this art program. We are so excited we found Janna. This studio is the real deal. If you want your child to learn in a real artist’s environment, and in an authentic way, this is it! Her style of teaching is an apprenticeship art style; learning in its truest form.

We are so beyond grateful to Janna and Natalia. My daughter has always been quite artistic and was in a different art program in another county when she was 4/5 years old. After our move to the area, it took some time, but we are so grateful to have found Kindred Creative. We loved her old program, but Janna and Natalia have taken that love to entirely new levels – not just for us but for my daughter. THAT is everything! I took my now, 6-year-old to meet Janna late last year ,and it has been an incredible journey ever since. My daughter created an incredible pastel that is as Janna said, “exquisite.” She goes above and beyond and we are so grateful to have found Kindred Creative.

“I found Janna’s art studio 7 years ago. At the time my daughter was so busy with school, sports and band that she just didn’t have the time for anything extra.  She is an artist at heart and I knew that was her future goal…… I am watching my daughter blossom. She is helping her learn techniques she doesn’t get in college. She is so excited about her project! …… My daughter is an introvert but around Jana she really comes out of her shell. Janna is absolutely the best teacher she has ever had. I’m looking forward to years of projects with her guidance and support. She truly is an integral part to my daughter’s future as an artist! Thank you Janna, we just love you!
