Hi, I’m Landa, an artist who loves bold contrast, realistic detail, and a little creative chaos. I create watercolor kits, videos, and classes to help you relax, learn, and fall in love with art making. Let’s paint something beautiful and if it doesn’t turn out how you expected, that’s okay! Enjoy the process.
Art Education & Teaching
Artmaking for Everyone
Hey there! I'm Landa, an artist and CA licensed art educator based in the vibrant Bay Area. I have a deep passion for the world of creativity, specializing in drawing, painting, and ceramics. With over 14 years of experience in teaching art, I've had the privilege to inspire and guide students of all ages, from adorable 1.5-year-olds to wise 93-year-olds!
Throughout my artistic journey, I've had incredible opportunities to develop and share my art. I've been fortunate enough to participate in three international artist residencies, immersing myself in the rich artistic traditions of Japan, China, and Italy. Additionally, my work has been showcased in solo exhibitions across these countries and the United States.
When it comes to art, I've dabbled in a wide array of creative expressions. You name it, and chances are, I've tried it! This diverse experience allows me to bring a unique perspective to my teaching. I'm naturally inquisitive and thrive on creative problem solving. As an educator, my ultimate goal is to create projects that ignite your imagination and fill you with a profound sense of accomplishment. There's nothing quite like that feeling when you finish a masterpiece and think, "Wow, I did that!"
So, whether you're an aspiring artist seeking guidance or simply looking for a fun and fulfilling creative experience, I'm here to help. Let's embark on this artistic journey together and uncover the endless possibilities that lie within the world of art!
