About

My passion is creating unexpected colorful & meaningful art + designs!  After 20+ years it continues to grow.  Everything starts on my sketch pad then are hand drawn and painted.  Original art can be created into paintings, mixed media, illustrations and graphic designs. My original art of acrylic and mixed media embodies a creative, positive spirit with a focus is on creating meaningful art.  Work can be created or recreated into matted prints, art panels and on canvas for a personalized gift either for yourself or a special recipient.

I love to mix it up…literally!  When I am not creating mixed media art, paintings and custom pieces.  I love to teach others about art and how to find their creative inner artist!  Located in northern Cincinnati I teach children, teens, adults art and creative workshops.  And I love designing too; from company logos to Facebook banners and more. 

When not in the studio I enjoy time with my husband, our three great kids and our dog Wrigley. Often you can fine Wrigley under my feet while I work on the computer or by my side at the easel. A true lover of laughter, I can often be found with friends and family enjoying a glass of something fun.  Thank you for allowing me to share my passion for art + design + instruction with you!  

My wish is that my work and classes inspires your heart to smile. ~ Darla

My passions are computers, computer games, programming  reading and time with friends.  I am a freshman at the Ohio State University concentrating in Computer Science and Engineering.  I have been working as an assistant to my mom for 5 years.  I handle all the technical support, aid in client projects and production and help prepare for shows, classes and events.

I enjoy spending time with my friends.  I like to play the saxophone and base clarinet, listening to music and of course playing video games. Oh and if you need any computer assistance I am available. Feel free to contact me at kirchner.ian@gmail.com.  I am comfortable with Java, C-# and website building on WordPress.  Thanks for stopping by. ~ Ian
