Art Classes and Mentorship

Looking to reconnect with your creativity or have a child (besides your inner one) who would thrive with one-on-one art lessons?

Hi, I’m Emily Michele Berry, a lifelong artist new to Tennessee, offering personal and group art lessons for all ages around the greater Nashville/Mount Juliet area and virtually!

With over 30 years of experience of making and teaching art and a bachelor’s in Science in Fashion Design, I love helping others awaken their imagination and express their inner world through various mediums like acrylic painting, drawing, watercolor, crafts, and more.

Art is magical and it soothes the mind, sparks joy, and helps us process life in meaningful ways. Whether you're brand new or want to deepen your skillset, I’d love to support your creative journey!

We will have a free 15 minute consultation to address your specific needs and make your lesson plans according to your desires. Classes can be held at your home, office, rental party, online/Zoom, any live events— the possibilities are endless. Pricing starts at $60/hour for one person and increases with added people.

If you or any loved ones would enjoy dedicated, soulful time to get creative and explore your artistic gifts, let’s connect!

  • "Emily's step-by-step panting class was such a gift to my heart! I am someone who is already so creative, but so much of my creativity lives in the domain of performance, and writing. But l've always wanted to get my hands on paint! She made the process so accessible, so fun, so easy to do, and yet what came out was something that completely shocked me! I didn't think I could 'make a good painting. But Emily showed me that anything is possible when I bring along a sense of willingness, not to mention playfulness! I would do this again in a heartbeat!"

  • "My group enjoyed Emily’s holiday painting class so much! We had our choice of subjects to paint with a December or holiday theme. She took us step by step thru the process and offered help when asked. It was the perfect mix of steady support while adding your own flair. This is a great idea for groups or those who want a lesson or two one on one. I highly recommend Emily’s painting events any time of year. They make a great gift, or can be adapted to any special occasion!"

  • "Emily taught a painting class to about 12 ladies over the holidays & she did an outstanding job! Many of us were definitely not artists & Emily took us step by step through the process. Emily was very patient with everyone & helped us with great tips & suggestions. Everyone came away with a beautiful painting of a poinsettia to display for the Christmas season!"
