We were established in 2005 and are celebrating 17 years of sharing our love of arts with the community.
At AB Fine Art studio, we believe that art is the gateway to a broader education, stronger community and culture, and the cornerstone to a well-rounded individual. Our desire is to provide a safe environment that inspires individuals to embrace their creativity. We teach students, young and old, proper techniques while encouraging individuality, emphasizing the process rather than the product.

The Best! My son's artwork from AB studio decorates my entry hall. I cannot count the times I have received rave reviews from visitors. -Pamela R.
We love AB Art Studio! Our kids have been going for almost 3 years between an off-site and their studio, and they adore the teachers! Ms. Kristin and Ms. Susan are two of the best teachers I have EVER met.
