About Young at Art, LLC
Young at Art private art lessons began in the summer of 2018 out of my home. Since then dozens of students have walked through my door. By October 2021, I decided it was time to expand and move into our current location in historic downtown Lancaster. I am thrilled to be a part of such an artistic, supportive community. I firmly believe in the power of art education, and I look forward to sharing my passion for art with you!
