Little Picasso Launch

Hi, my name is Janis Hansen from "Art from the Heart Studio." Some of you know me from "Janis Art Workshop and Garden Gallery" (2002 - 2013) on Ojai Avenue. A place that the LA Times once wrote was "One of Ojai's most desirable stops" where ongoing art classes were happening in beautiful fountain-filled gardens with local artist works on display.

Since the closure of my workshop, I have been teaching adults in children from my home and garage studio over the last 10 years. I have an opportunity to expand my vision and become a part of the local community for Ojai families and visitors with...

A wonderful new location providing a unique, inspiring, and safe atmosphere where all can create!

My love and passion for teaching and inspiring others to believe they can express themselves through art is my gift.

What I will be able to offer in this expanded space:

I am seeking patrons for Art from the Heart for my start-up costs to expand my services, space, and add an art exhibit experience for my students.

If you support this collective vision and my teaching has personally supported a love of art in you or your child, would you consider becoming a patron of Art from the Heart?

Levels of Support:

$7500 – Vision Patron Funder – fund the entire Art from the Heart Expansion

$2000 – Patron of Little Picassos Gallery Space (with a mosaic with your name)

$500 – Patron of Art Materials: (the kiln, mosaic materials, paints, etc.)

$135 – Patron of a Child’s Love of Art: (your name or child’s name will be added to the donor rock garden outside)

Any level of support is welcome! I thank you for your generosity and belief in my service to the children of our community and vision for instilling a love of art and future artists to come.
