Hi, I’m Toula Michalakis, and I’ve always had a passion for the arts in all its forms. I hold an A.E.C. in Early Childhood Education, a diploma in Fine Arts, and a Monart teacher certificate for teaching realistic drawing to children and beginner adults.
Art has always been a part of my life, and I’ve reached a point where I feel it’s time to share my passion for the visual arts with others while continuing to pursue my own creative journey.
After discovering Monart, I was inspired to open a home-based art school in 2023, where I could pass on my knowledge and love for art to students of all ages. It’s a way for me to give back to the community and inspire others to explore their creative potential.
Imagine a world without art — what a dull and colorless place our world would be.
I believe that art has the power to enrich our lives, spark imagination, and bring people together. I’m excited to be a part of that process and help others discover the joy and beauty that art can bring.
My style is based on teaching patience, attention to detail, and encouraging students to explore their creativity while building strong foundational skills and self-confidence in a fun and safe environment.
