Hi, I’m Elysa, a former elementary school art teacher who left the public school system to pursue full-time art and homeschool my three children, and I’ve transformed my garage into a fully functional art oasis where creativity thrives.

At Mess Maker Studio I offer welcoming, hands-on classes for ages 1–99 that build artistic skills, confidence, and a love of making—whether you’re a curious toddler, a seasoned hobbyist, or an adult trying something new. My background in classroom teaching informs structured, developmentally appropriate lessons, while the informal garage setting keeps things relaxed and fun. Check the website to find the class that’s the right fit for you.
