Welcome to Art & Alchemy: A Creative Journey of Transformation for Youth

At Art & Alchemy, Amanda, a qualified artist and artistic therapist, offers a unique blend of art and therapeutic practices designed to inspire, nurture, and empower young people. Set in a serene, nature-surrounded environment, our studio provides a safe, welcoming space where creativity and self-discovery flourish. Amanda’s approach combines art with elements of self-exploration and emotional growth, allowing youth to explore their inner worlds through creative expression.

What We Offer:

One-on-One and Group Sessions: Tailored to fit each child or teen’s unique needs, our sessions provide opportunities for personal growth, confidence building, and emotional expression.
Art Classes for Children: Open to youth aged 6–18, these classes invite young artists to explore a range of mediums and techniques. Each class offers skill-building along with personal expression in a supportive environment.
What to Expect:
In both individual and group sessions, participants are encouraged to engage with art as a tool for self-discovery. Through painting, drawing, sculpting, and other forms of creative expression, youth learn to navigate emotions, build self-confidence, and enhance focus—all while enjoying the process of creation. Our tranquil setting in nature promotes a sense of peace and connection, making each session a holistic experience.

How Art & Alchemy Helps:
Amanda’s nurturing, non-judgmental approach supports youth in finding their own voice and learning to express themselves with confidence. Art & Alchemy is more than just an art class; it’s a journey toward self-understanding, resilience, and growth, all within a safe and accepting space.

Discover a world where art transforms, heals, and empowers. Whether you're looking for individual support or group connection, we invite you to experience the magic of Art & Alchemy.
