Rebecca Schweiger, Founder/Director

While witnessing how the magical, creative artistic journey transformed her own life, Rebecca felt  a deep intuitive calling to share the gift of authentic self-expression with students of all ages and all artistic levels world-wide. Rebecca's unique teaching method combines artistic technique with authentic self-expression from deep within, thus encouraging an extremely positive, open, joyful and empowered artistic experience. Her students find not only their artwork on the canvas maturing rapidly, but they also see their lives off the canvas taking form in incredible, inspiring ways!

Rebecca has ignited the "empowered artist within" amongst thousands of her students. After working with students, one by one, throughout Massachusetts, New York, Texas, California, Israel, Costa Rica, and Italy, Rebecca felt inspired to open The Art Studio NY in Manhattan in order to further share the transformative qualities of self-expression and inspiring creativity through visual art. The Art Studio NY offers art classes, creative workshops, and inspiring creative opportunities both in New York City and worldwide for all levels and all ages.  For further information about The Art Studio NY, please click HERE.  In addition to teaching at The Art Studio NY, Rebecca lectures and leads workshops and retreats world-wide. Rebecca is additionally working on her first of many books, Be the Artist of Your Life: On and Off the Canvas, to be published in the near future.

In both her artwork and teaching, Rebecca shares her passion for creativity, self-empowerment and authentic artistic self-expression as a pathway to freedom, inner-peace, celebration, and deep joy. She feels most excited about celebrating her full potential in all that she does, and Rebecca shares this loving, inspiring energy of being the artist of her life, both on and off the canvas, through her artwork and, of course,  with all of her students.
