Children's Art Classes in
Meridian, ID

Suzanne is a self-taught artist and instructor. She's taught high school art as well as middle school science at a small private school in the Treasure Valley. She currently teaches one-on-one with special needs students. She’s painted murals for schools and churches, and won recognition for “Children Know” and “What We Pass On”. She’s designed youth sports banners and plaques, as well as donating her time as editor and layout designer for a nonprofit community cookbook, Healthy Eats and Treats, which won national attention in the Morris Press Community Cookbook contest. She lives with her family in the Treasure Valley. The beauty and comedy of everyday life inspires her art.

My name is Bana and as a passionate and dedicated art teacher, I believe that every child is an artist at heart. With a deep love for visual arts and a strong foundation in painting, illustration, and design, I have dedicated my career to nurturing creativity and self-expression in young learners.

In the classroom, I aim to create a supportive and inspiring environment where children feel confident to explore their imagination. My lessons are hands-on, engaging, and tailored to meet the needs of each child, encouraging them to experiment with different techniques and mediums.

Whether through drawing, painting, or mixed media projects, my goal is to help children discover the joy of creating and to build their confidence, problem-solving skills, and artistic voice. Watching students grow, express themselves, and take pride in their work is the most rewarding part of what I do.
