Break Through Your Creative Ceiling
Private Instruction at Whistling Studios is a mentorship that meets you where you are -- and takes you further.
Making Art Alone is Hard
No Dedicated Space
A Studio is a place to commit yourself to your ideas and focus on your craft. It can be hard to start if you don't have a space dedicated to your art.
You Need Structure
Staying on track in spite of your busy life can be near impossible. Without accountability and guidance, you will never prioritize your creative goals.
Fighting Old Doubts
You think you aren't good enough --when the truth is, you are. Don't regret not starting sooner.
You are brave enough to choose your creative life.
What Kind of Artist Are you Becoming?
Let’s create sustainable habits that keep you engaged, inspired, and making work regularly.
We can focus on portfolio-building, technical refinement, and the deeper creative conversations that shape an artist’s career.
Your techinical abilities in your chosen process can be the center of focus. Let me structure your lessons on building proficiency.
Not sure yet? That's ok. This is a space for exploration and discovery, at your own pace.
What You'll Gain
- Pride - See how much you can accomplish when your artistic growth is the focus.
- Release - Art is an outlet. Let it be your space to breathe and unwind.
- Deeper Connections - Developing your creative voice makes you a more confident, discerning thinker.
- Ongoing Support - When the roadblocks come up, you won't be alone. I'll be here to help you through them.
Meet Your Guide, Keith
Hi, I'm Keith!
I built Whistling Studios around my personal philosophy towards teaching and living art.
Qualifications
- Masters of Fine Arts in Printmaking
- 10+ Years Working as a Gallery Artist
- 18+ Years Working as an Art Instructor
I teach classes because I want you to find the joy in spirited artmaking.
Everyone deserves to know the joy that can be attained by building a Lifestyle Art Practice, thinking with the playful depth and clarity that artists acquire in making things.
Your Journey, Your Focus
You’ll have full access to the studio, working with real materials and processes— mixing paints to perfection, rolling ink over a linocut block, pulling your squeegee over a silkscreen for a crisp print, swirling pigments in a water marbling bath, or refining delicate pen strokes for a bold illustration.
We can explore:
- Printmaking
- Water Marbling
- Drawing and Illustration
- Paper Design
- Painting
- Mixed Topics
This isn't a rigid curriculum -- it's an evolving mentorship that meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go.

FAQs
Do I need any prior art experience?
Not at all! Our classes are designed for all skill levels, whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or refining years of practice. If you are concerned, reach out and I'll help you select a perfect experience for beginners.
What if I'm nervous about trying something new?
That’s perfectly normal! Our instructors create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you can relax, explore, and surprise yourself.
What materials do I need to bring?
Nothing! We provide professional-grade tools and materials for every class.
How does billing work?
I invoice monthly, only for the hours you use. Each month, I'll charge a $60 booking deposit, which will be applied to any hours you use the following month.
Is there a loyalty discount?
Yes! After your 3rd consecutive month, you'll get $10 off every hour you spend at Whistling Studios, for as long as you continue your membership.
How do I sign up?
Simply fill out the application, and you and I will work out scheduling to see if it is a fit. After that, we will onboard you whenever you and my studio are ready!
