About Nine Studio

All children are full of creativity and imagination, and we are responsible for helping them  reach their fullest potential. 

We are an art studio who believes learning should be self-motivated and guided by the learner’s needs within their own interests. Nine Studio offers multi-themed after school programs and art camps throughout the year for children to explore their endless interests and playful creativities. The variety of unique activities we offer gives children the best opportunity to find their own interest and the things that motivate them to learn.

We create creativity with your curious children!

  • Creative Director/ Curriculum Designer/ Photography Teacher

    “The best thing about art is that art naturally lands on each one of us no matter how much we love or are good at. The best thing about children is that they are born to be artistic and creative. We connect these dots with children’s own motivation!”

    Amelie has a BA in Photography from San Francisco Art Institute and an MA in Arts Administration from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This art education led to working in a commercial art gallery and museum, as well as with local and international artists as an independent curator. She hopes Nine Studio provides a nurturing environment for all children to find their own voice by being creative and having fun.

  • Illustration/Story Telling Teacher

    “I commonly find inspiration through the lived experiences of herself and others - of course, my students at Nine!, I incorporate these investigations within her illustrative work.”

    Kate is currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Fine Arts (BFA) in Illustration at California College of the Arts, originating from Arizona! Kate's work specializes in capturing narrative and storytelling driven illustrations through a painterly-like style, occasionally stepping outside of her comfort zone.
