Teachers

Tai Lotson

Tai Lotson

A true student of life, Tai Lotson immerses herself in art through everyday experiences, seeing the world through the lens of color and texture. Growing up, she spent countless hours watching her grandmother paint in her home studio, an experience that profoundly shaped her creative expression. This deep connection to painting has given her a unique appreciation for artistic techniques, allowing her to guide others in their own creative journeys.

As an art teacher, she brings a deeply personal and immersive approach to her work, inspiring students through hands-on techniques, storytelling, and music. She also draws from her experience as a yoga meditation and sound healing instructor. incorporating these practices to create a calming and encouraging atmosphere in her classes. By blending creativity with mindfulness, she helps students feel more present, open, and connected to their artistic expression.

Whether through the stroke of a brush, the rhythm of a song, or the power of a story, she helps her students unlock their creativity in the most artful and transformative way.
