“Your inner critic is simply a part of you that needs more self-love.”

― Amy Leigh Mercree,

Hi, there!

 

My name is Rose and I am the owner and artist at the Dreaming Heart Art Studio!

 

I offer a variety of beginner-friendly art classes for children and adults at my cozy, little home-based art studio in Chesterville, Ontario.

 

Classes are always designed to encourage self-expression, spark the imagination, and grow a whole lot of creative self-love!

​

With gently-guided instruction and a focus on enjoying the creative process, Dreaming Heart classes are not technical in nature; but rather provide opportunities to play, explore, experiment, and express oneself through art-making.

​

Because above all, making art should be FUN!

My daughter absolutely loves the studio and has thoroughly enjoyed every paint class she’s taken there! Ms. Rose is fantastic, the atmosphere is creative and welcoming, and the variety of classes keeps her excited to come back. It’s been a wonderful experience for her, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and enriching artistic outlet for their child.

I did my first paint day with Rose yesterday and had an amazing time. Rose was welcoming and provided thoughtful guidance while also letting participants choose the colours and details that sparked joy. It's not easy to find creative flow in everyday life...but Rose's workshop gave me the permission and freedom I needed to dig in and get creative. Highly recommend!! Thank you Rose!!

I can't say enough good things about Rose and her Art Studio. A warm, inviting space to immerse yourself and let your creativity just flow. Rose has such great energy, and the classes are laid back, relaxing and fun. If you haven't been to a workshop, do yourself a favour and go. Makes a great gift for a loved one too!

Here's a little peek at our happy art space...
I hope you'll come and make art in-person!

 

I put tons of heart and soul into creating art classes that inspire and encourage everyone to feel confident and comfortable expressing themselves... and part of that is creating an art space that is uplifting and welcoming!

​

Upon entering the Dreaming Heart, you'll be greeted by a neat and tidy space filled with colour, light, and whimsy.

​

Plants, art, books, and little magical decor pieces invite creative curiousity and a feeling of joyful calm.

​

If you have a child who is attending the Studio for the first time, and they are feeling a little shy or nervous, you are more than welcome to arrange to view the space with your child, 5-10 minutes before your child's art class!

Simply send me an email to dreamingheartart@gmail.com to let me know!
