With all my love for painting, I share my experience with kids and adults at my Art Studio is based in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, Downtown Los Altos, California.
I created unique programs for different levels and ages! All my students have very fast progress!

about
STUDIO
My methodology is based on traditional techniques and the required tools so you can express yourself.
No matter what your age or experienced you are, every technique can be explained, and with practice, mastered!
I believe in individual work in whatever domain for best attention and focus, that’s why I offer only private classes or small groups of 3-4 students.
My philosophy does not put limits on creation; try everything in art! Because we are all different, I will find a different way for the best result.
My students have Fun doing serious ART !!
“Research shows that studying arts help students link to social and emotional development, critical thinking, empathy, innovation, collaboration, leadership...“

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“Both my daughters (ages 10 and 14) took arts classes taught in French by Yelena. She’s a wonderful teacher trained at the Beaux Arts in Paris who speaks many languages. She knows how to listen to the kids, so she not only helps them develop their talents but also follows their interests. Although we live in Redwood City, we drove to Mountain View twice a week last summer so she could teach the kids. I highly recommend Yelena as an arts teacher.”
