Welcome to My World!

My name is Ilana Khoshsima, the creative mind behind this inspiring art haven, where imagination comes to life for all ages. When I was nine years old, my parents enrolled me in a drawing class, not fully aware of the potential this decision would unlock. Even at that early age, I could sense a deep-seated talent and passion, the moment I picked up a pencil. As I matured, I continued to nurture my artistic abilities, transitioning from drawing to painting. It was during this period of growth that I recognized my innate talent and began to consider how my artistic journey had profoundly impacted my life.

Motivated by the desire to share this transformative experience, I started teaching art to children and organizing paint parties. Reflecting on my journey, I realize that my life would be vastly different if my parents had not enrolled me in that initial art class. I am deeply grateful for their decision, which set me on a path of creative fulfillment.

My goal now is to share this gift with as many people as possible. I aim to inspire others through art, helping them discover their own passions and potentially changing their lives as art has changed mine. Through teaching and community engagement, I hope to make a meaningful difference in the world.

Why to work with me?

I love teaching, and I'm patient and fun! I provide personalized, one-on-one support to ensure you or your child receives the individual attention you need to thrive. I'll customize each session to make learning enjoyable and rewarding for everyone.

Highly recommend Ilana and Paint Party 4 fun! She led 16 kindergarten kids and taught them a fun drawing. She brought and prepped everything (table cloths, plastic wrap for clothes, colors, canvas etc) , tailored the party for the age, and really taught a fun art class for a bday party. The kids listened and had a blast. Highly recommend ! The other parents were so impressed!

Ilana is an exceptional art teacher who truly shines when working with kids. She’s incredibly patient, kind, and fun creating a welcoming and inspiring environment where students can freely explore their creativity. Ilana incorporates a wide range of art techniques and materials tailoring her lessons to what the children enjoy most. She’s flexible and attentive ensuring each student feels supported and encouraged. My kids have worked with several art teachers over the years and Ilana stands out as the best by far. I highly recommend her for both kids and adults–her teaching is top-notch!
