| About Us
Davis Studio was founded in 2003 by director, Teresa Davis. We are committed
to creating an atmosphere that fosters the imagination and nurtures creativity.
Each student is respected as an artist with his or her own unique style and unlimited
potential.
A wide range of classes and camps are offered for students
to explore artistic possibilities. We offer a selection of after school and Saturday
classes throughout the school year. Additionally, classes are held during weekdays
for adults, homeschooled students and preschool families. Camps take place during
the summer as well as during school vacations, including Thanksgiving and Christmas
