We’re kicking off our series with the person who started it all. 🎨✨
Meet Tetiana Taganska (Tetiana Taganska) — Founder of Imaginook! 👋
Tetiana’s journey into teaching art began in 2012, when her daughter created her very first painting. That moment sparked a question that would eventually shape Imaginook:
How do we teach art without taking away a child’s spontaneity, curiosity, and courage to explore? 💭
Tetiana dreamed of creating a space where children could play, experiment, make art, and learn — without feeling that there’s only one “right” way to create. 🖌️
That idea remains at the heart of Imaginook today. Tetiana encourages students not simply to copy what they see, but to discover their own ideas, experiment, and develop their unique creative voice. 🌱
And that philosophy isn’t just for kids. With adult students, Tetiana creates space to explore emotions, ideas, vulnerability, and the excitement of making something truly their own. ❤️
Want to learn from Tetiana? 👩🎨 This year, you can find her in the studio teaching Kids Art, Oil Painting, and Adult Painting — helping students of all ages turn their ideas into something uniquely theirs.
Beyond Imaginook, Tetiana serves on the Board of Directors of the Fremont Art Association and continues to be an active part of the local art community. 🎭
We’re excited to introduce you to the teachers who bring Imaginook to life. Stay tuned to meet more of our creative team! ✨
