Welcome to Earmark Art Studio!

Why not drop by the studio during my OPEN HOUSE which is being held on Friday, Sept. 5 – 2PM to 7PM Saturday, Sept. 6 – 10AM to 5PM and Sunday, Sept. 7 – 1PM to 4PM. There will be wine and cheese and an opportunity to win a prize valued at over $100!

Part of the fun is getting here since it’s a pleasant country drive to get to the studio.

And when you arrive, you’ll see that I’m tucked in among the trees. From the air my place is barely visible! So, you can imagine how tranquil things are around these parts.

It’s a great environment for re-charging your creative spirit and for relaxing. And the parking is free! Use the map below so you'll know how to get here... or just click on this link for Directions to The Studio

The classroom is large, well lit and comfortable. You’ll be happy to know that access to paints and mediums during class time is included in your fees (unless otherwise specified).

And I love to feed my students… so there are free healthy snacks, bottled water, coffee and tea always available.

For day-long sessions or sessions that span a weekend, lunch is included.

There is also a reasonably priced guest room with private bathroom to accommodate overnight guests from out of town. There are local Bed and Breakfasts located nearby as well.

And since the studio is only a 45-minute drive to downtown Ottawa, you will be able to enjoy all that Ottawa offers if you want to take in more than a painting workshop.

Men and women of all skill levels come to my art studio to learn. There's always lots of tips and tricks to try for yourself. And there are so many new exciting techniques to explore these days!

My studio offers workshops in mixed media, decorative painting (tole), collage, paper crafts, altered art, art swaps, artist trading cards, among many other ways to express yourself creatively. Come and see for yourself. You will have a ball in my art studio!!

The Fall / Winter 2008 schedule is being updated. Just use the "Workshop" button on the left-hand side of this page for all the details.

I’m always developing and creating more workshops. As this information becomes available, I'll keep adding it to the site.

If you want to learn and paint in an enjoyable and relaxed environment in the Ottawa area, then make Earmark Decorative Painting Studio your painting destination.

Located at 3152 Stonecrest Road, Dunrobin, Ontario
