Janes and Pang Atelier

"JPA is such a special space and community. Misa and Jacob are so thoughtful and knowledgeable in their teaching style and practice. They embrace individual vision and nurture meaningful investigation. I've gained so much on a personal and artistic level through their insight, workshops, and visiting artists. Highly recommend to all artists and art curious!"

"This school is a great place to not only expand your skill set, but also your ideas about art no matter your level of art experience. Jacob and Misa are great at fostering a discussion that leads you to learn what you need to learn, instead of just telling you an idea of what they think is right. I can't wait to return in the future"

"I had never dabbled in oil painting before and I decided to sign up for a summer cohort here to learn some fundamentals and get started with my fiancé. It was well worth our time and I highly recommend any of their classes. Regardless of if you are an experienced painter or just beginning your artist journey, Misa and Jacob will welcome you and encourage and support you. They are just fantastic teachers and painters as well as super kind humans. STL is fortunate to have such a great spot to learn outside of the traditional academic setting with other folks who are serious about growing as artists and I found myself inspired, not just by Jacob and Misa, but by the other great folks in my cohort."

"Misa and Jacob have created such a unique and thoughtful space for artists in the St. Louis area. They're delightful to work with and clearly have so much passion for their art and instruction. You need to meet them!"

"St. Louis is so lucky to have a space for artists like JPA! I have enjoyed every painting session I have taken here and will continue to attend them in the future. Such an encouraging and welcoming place. Check them out if you're looking for ways to grow your art practice!"
