My name is Michelle Sammartino and I am a very reputable artist in the South Florida area. One of those creative types that is constantly producing artwork in some form or another in every aspect of my life, from my home to the things in it and around it. My passion is teaching but as we all know, those opportunities are scarce with arts and music being the first cuts in any school district. I have a Bachelor Of Fine Arts degree from California College Of The Arts in Oakland, CA, I have worked for Walt Disney Feature Animation and have credit on multiple animated feature films. I have taught drawing, painting, crafts workshops, foundation art, ceramics, Intro to Mac, Intro to PC, Photoshop 101 and many other art classes for the last 22 years. Although I have no children of my own, I would love the opportunity to share my skills with your little ones. I love to have fun, and I garauntee they will come home with smiles on their faces every time! I teach in the South Florida area and am open to more students of any age from preschoolers to seniors. I can teach ANYONE to draw, paint or craft (beadwork, sewing, jewelery making, found object, collage etc).

I live and work out of my home in Boca Raton. All student classes are taught either in my studio office, back porch, or backyard since I have all the necessary art supplies needed for any project at my disposal. I will supply any art supplies for my students for a small initial fee. Depending on location, I will travel to your home for any Colour Consultation, Wall Mural, Interior Paint job, or Stencil Border work. All other works of art (portraits, etc) will be completed in my home studio, on my own time. I will consider travel up to an hour away, as multi-day projects require me to keep coming back in incriments.

Colour Consultations: $100 (includes a one-time color swatch sample session, time, & professional opinion)
All colour consultations include unlimited colour swatches from a nearby home-goods store (such as Lowes, or Home Depot) that are relevant to the colour pallet of your choosing. I will also include swatches of complimentary colours. This is for a single room only. There will be an additional charge of $75 per additional room needing colour swatches and consultations. I will also give opinions on accent walls, furniture placement, and accent pieces that will enhance the beauty and maximize the space given. Colour Consultations require me to come to your home and discuss colour options for general living spaces or bedrooms. Adding custom artwork to a space is additional fee such as a painting or collage.

Please see the RESUME section of the website for more information about my work history and various achievments.
