MORE ABOUT US FOR YOU
A return to Wonder
"Show me that a seed is planted there and I shall expect miracles." Henri Thoreau
EARTH ART INSTITUTE is an online center dedicated to a full art experience for children, teens and adults. We offer online studio classes, workshops and community memberships to support your learning. At the heart of our mission we believe in the life giving nature of creative inspiration and the importance of sharing and nurturing creativity in the life of others and the community. While exploring the wonders of the earth as inspiration for creating art, collectively we share skills, creative experience, inspiration, imagination and story around the many ways earth, art and peace are growing initiatives in our lives and world.
How We Are Different
A Unique Learning Experience
For Every Student
At the heart of our purpose is YOU and THE ONES you care for!
We promote the discovery of personal creative expression that is unique to every person and offer creative skills and experience to unlock your potential and find your calm with the joy of creating art. We absolutely know that everyone is able to create art! We do not do copy art. Each student will choose their own subject matter as we provide guidance to learn to see and create with originality and imagination using their very own vision, hearts and hands.
"It is my joy to help people of all ages cultivate their creativity and develop the skills to express themselves as they stand on the threshold of their imagination so that they can live into their full potential and flourish in their lives. I never doubt the ability of a student to create something interesting, beautiful and honest."

" I have enjoyed my class with Jennifer immensely. I learned everything I had hoped to learn."
Charles Owens DDS
"My time has been well spent at Cedar Cove Studio Arts center. I have had art classes before that are often stiff and stale. Cedar Cove is anything but that. These classes encourage creativity and give artists a chance to grow and learn new methods and styles at a healthy pace that keeps things interesting. I can not recommend it enough and I will always find my way back to this wonderful studio."
