Experienced art student and private tutor offers creative, personalized drawing and painting lessons — inspiring artists in Edmonton and online.

I had the pleasure of learning with Ira over several months, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most gifted and dedicated art teachers I have ever encountered. From our very first session, it was clear that Ira doesn't just teach art, she genuinely inspires a love for it.
What sets Ira apart is her remarkable ability to meet students exactly where they are. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or looking to refine an existing skill, she tailors every lesson with patience, creativity, and a keen eye for each student's unique style. She never imposes a single "right" way to create, instead she nurtures your individual voice and helps you grow it with confidence.
I remember one session where I was completely stuck on a watercolour piece. Frustrated and ready to give up. Ira sat with me, calmly broke down the techniques I was struggling with, and by the end of the lesson I had created something I was genuinely proud of.

If you are looking for an art tutor who is warm, knowledgeable, endlessly encouraging, and truly passionate about helping you unlock your creative potential, she is the one. Any student lucky enough to learn from her is in wonderful hands.
