Studio Owner

Jared & Christina Hansen

Jared & Christina Hansen

Jared & Christina are excited to be owners of Children’s Art Classes in Saratoga Springs, UT.

Jared is an Idaho native and USAF veteran.  Christina is a native of Colorado.  They were married in 1999 and following many adventures in the Air Force and Defense Department they settled in Saratoga Springs in 2016.

After many years of public service they have recognized the need to nurture our children's self-directing, creative natures in a world that needs more 'creative problem solvers' than ever before.  More lead, less follow.  More create, less repeat.  Let's let our kids become what they're meant to become!

They have three children who all love to create and are super excited to give kids a first class art opportunity in the Saratoga Springs area!
