Hello, I'm Araina.

Hello! I'm Araina, a children's book author, illustrator, and art educator with a passion for helping young artists discover the joy of drawing. For years, I've combined my love of storytelling and illustration to create engaging artwork and teach creative skills to children. My background includes teaching art, working as a substitute teacher, and illustrating children's books, giving me the experience to make learning both fun and encouraging. In my classes, I break drawing down into simple, step-by-step lessons that help students build confidence while expressing their creativity. Whether we're drawing cute animals, creating imaginative characters, or learning how children's books are illustrated, my goal is for every child to leave class feeling proud of what they've created. I believe every child is creative, and I can't wait to help your young artist grow their skills in a positive, supportive environment. I look forward to drawing with your child!
