Cypress School of Art & Design (formerly Artist Within)

Founded on the teaching methods of artist Thomas S. Cleveland, the studio is led by his daughter Amber Cleveland alongside a roster of professional artists. Sessions run as individualized instruction in small group settings with focused drawing and painting demonstrations, welcoming students from beginner to advanced levels starting at age four. Practice spans an array of media—including gouache, alcohol markers, tempera, watercolor, pastel, and acrylic—using professional-grade materials.
