Lucy van Ligten

Hi, I'm Lucy van Ligten! With over 35 years of artistic experience, my greatest joy is helping others discover the wonder of creating fine art. I fall in love with the magic of watching everyday memories and photographs come alive through paint and printmaking—and I love sharing that process even more. Teaching, for me, is about creating a encouraging space where you can build confidence, play with color, and experience the pure satisfaction of turning an idea into something beautiful you can hold in your hands.
