The Dreaming Heart
Art Studio
Art classes to soothe the soul!
Located in Kemptville & Chesterville
“Your inner critic is simply a part of you that needs more self-love.”
― Amy Leigh Mercree,
​
My name is Rose and I am the owner, artist, and instructor at the Dreaming Heart Art Studio!
I offer a variety of beginner-friendly art classes for children and adults that are 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.
​
I offer art classes at both my Kemptville studio, and my home studio in Chesterville:
​
40 Campus Drive, Kemptville, ON, K0G 1J0
(Kemptville Campus in Parish Hall, Rm 110, 2nd Fl)
​&
​
23 Riverside Drive, Chesterville, ON, K0C 1H0

WELCOME!
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!!

We are so fortunate to have these classes in Kemptville! Rose does such a great job leading the kids in the different art activities. She has a lovely demeanour, is always encouraging her students as they try their best and sends class reminders which I greatly appreciate. My daughter has loved attending these weekly classes for the last 8 months. I highly recommend!
