ArTherapy for Me is a paint and sip studio where "fine" art becomes "fun" art as you follow along with an instructor to create a painting featured for that class session. Cups, glasses, napkins, plates, silverware and ice are provided along with all the supplies you need to create your very own painting. For those 21 and over, you can BYOB your favorite beverage, even wine!

A reminder that the last time I will be open to sell items from the studio will be this Saturday, June 20th, from 12pm until 5pm (unless I close earlier :-) ).

Remaining items include example paintings, some smaller decor items, bar stools, some storage shelves, and different art making supplies.

I do not have any brush sets, easels, or canvases left to sell, but I do have individual used and a few new brushes available for purchase. All of the major furnishings have already been sold.

Come by to see what's available or just to say bye.

Part of closing means having to part with the items in the studio that helped make the space what it was.

If you are interested, I will be selling off stuff left in the studio - example paintings, fixtures, furniture, glasses, etc.on June 13th and June 20th. I plan on being at the studio from noon until 5pm each of the Saturdays listed. Hours are subject to change.

Right now I do not have any easels or brush sets for sale. I do have some older brush sets and individual brushes available. Also, I won't be able to hold items as I just don't have the space to try and put things back.

It is with a great sadness that I am announcing the decision to close the ArTherapy for Me studio permanently. I want to thank everyone for your support, love, and friendship over the years. You have truly made my business owning experience one of the best times of my life. I hope that my studio has been able to provide you with a space to create, laugh, talk, drink, and find the joy in making art again.

Due to the current situation, I have been required to maintain monthly expense payments while closed and without an income that would cover those costs. Please know that I did try to keep the business going by applying for assistance and did not make this decision in a hurry. I have tried many avenues, but so far have not received any of the stimulus money for small businesses. I appreciate the many suggestions for methods to generate income, but I ask that you please understand that nothing we have investigated would provide the income needed to cover operating costs.

I appreciate your support and the indication that you would return to the studio and I had planned on returning also. Unfortunately the situation we are all dealing with has now also caused a turn of events in the personal financial status of my husband and I that makes that option no longer viable.

If you have a gift certificate with me or a studio credit that is still active (even if it expired during the shut-down) I am asking you to contact me by email at [email protected] so that I may get refunds to you. I ask that you be patient as some refunds will need to be made by check rather than coming back through PayPal.

Thank you for being a part of my business and my life and I hope you each stay safe and well.

May the 4th be with you - I couldn't do the painting session, but I'll share the painting. :-) Hopefully I'll get to do ...

Well, it looks like we're going to be down and out a little bit longer. The stay-at-home order has now been extended to the middle of May and, as a non-essential business, I'm going to continue to follow the state guidelines.

Know that when we are allowed to open again there will be steps in place to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Meanwhile, I have been trying out some new products for the studio and am going to start posting pics so you can see what will be coming in the future. I have also been working on some retail items that could be coming up for purchase.

I hope all of you are safe and healthy, and not going as crazy as I am. 🤪

Just another update: I am still waiting for information from the State of Arizona (along with everyone else) regarding the ability to conduct business again. Initially we closed the studio until the end of April, but I do not plan on opening again until steps can be identified to keep everyone healthy.

If you happen to check out the website in the next couple of days, classes will be visible on the calendar page for the months of May and June. While the pictures may be visible, seats will not be available for purchase until there are clearer guidelines regarding getting together again. In other words, you can see but you can’t touch. 😆

I hope that each one of you is safe, know that I miss getting to see you and share some creative time, and that we are all looking forward to being back together again.

This has to be one of my favorites. What she has on her ear is worth more than the pearl right now!

Once again I sit here trying to make a decision about holding sessions at the studio that feels good with my heart and soul. While this is a very difficult and sad decision, I am going to remain closed until the end of April and will reevaluate opening again closer to that date.

As much as me and my staff miss seeing everyone, and having some painting and chatting fun, I want everyone to be safe in this time of uncertainty. Our studio space is more intimate and socially distancing means only a few people would be able to attend. It would be safer for everyone to not hold any sessions.

Emails will be sent out to those of you registered for sessions up to that date regarding refunds or certificates.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again when we open up. Please keep me in your thoughts as you are definitely in mine.

As things change again based on announcements made today regarding a state of emergency declaration, I have made the difficult decision to close the studio until the first of April. I hope you will understand that this decision has not been made lightly, but was made in order to help protect all of us in this time of crisis.

I will be sending emails to those of you who have registered for sessions in the next two weeks asking for you to contact me regarding refunds or certificates.

Thanks you for your support and patience and I am sending my wishes that each one of you is safe. I will keep you updated regarding sessions in the future. See you soon!

Due to the recent recommendations that have been made as a result of the Covid-19 virus, studio seating for sessions will be capped at 12 participants until March 31, 2020, in order to provide adequate space between painters. Sessions that are already sold out will remain with the same number of participants, but any cancellations received will not be filled from the waiting lists.

My goal has been to make a space that provides our painters with a place to create, something we feel is very important to overall mental health. I have always strived to do this in an environment that is clean and safe for those attending. While cleaning has always been conducted after each session, added measures have been put in place to disinfect additional areas in the studio between sessions. Our supplies and equipment have been, and will continue to be, cleaned during and after each session. Disposable gloves will also be provided upon request.

If you are feeling unwell, I ask that you please not attend one of our sessions. The regular cancellation policy will remain in place. Cancellations made up to 48 hours prior to the start of the session will receive a refund (minus the PayPal processing fee of 2.9% + $.30 transaction fee). Certificates, which are good for one year, are provided for cancellations made from 48 hours to the start of the session. If notification is not received prior to the start of the session then fees are forfeited. If you prefer, a certificate for the full amount of the purchase price can be sent which can be used for up to one year from the date issued.

As the situation is constantly changing regarding quarantine recommendations, I ask that you please be patient with your requests regarding refunds and certificates. I will continue to listen to recommendations and make a space that is safe and welcoming for those who choose to attend. Thank you for your support and understanding.
