Meet Dominique
Hello! My name is Dominique Kongsli, and I am a professional artist, designer and illustrator. Is my absolute joy to teach art because I know how much fun it is to create. My goal is to nurture your child's artistic sensibilities and give them the skills and the confidence needed to create. Oh, and I also teach adults too!
Learner-Centered.
Classes are accessible for different types of learners through use of a drawing guide, which is available for use during the lesson. Kids can print the drawing guide or simply download it and reference it on their screen throughout the lesson.
“Drawing with Dominique has been such a bright spot for my kids. They genuinely look forward to class every week and they have learned SO much and really have a great time.”
– Kara M. (Happy parent)
