Maria’s Art Studio is a place where you can learn art and nourish your creativity. Since classes are small (no more than 5 students per class), students get personal attention and they get to know one another too. Maria Sarmiento, who is a professional artist, teaches all the classes in her studio or go to your place as well.

Her classes are full of great learning offered in an easy-going, fun, dynamic way. Maria is an encouraging, enthusiastic teacher who loves to teach and also loves to create her own artwork.

The studio is  a relaxing space in the north Georgia mountains surrounded by nature and beautiful deer visit daily. This is not only a place to study art, but also a place to make new friends and share your creativity with others. Plus Maria is constantly training herself in the latest art techniques and art trends so that she can share her knowledge with her students.
