WELCOME

"The Chartreuse Muse has been a part of our lives since it moved to 10th Street in 2007. Our daughter took classes there from her elementary years right into high school—from clay to acrylics and watercolor to mixed media. She has studied perspective and modern art with Ellen Roehne and Asian art with Fumiko Caine, and her artistic abilities have flourished. We've also been to openings and visit regularly—our home is brightened by art by Fumiko Caine, Jennifer Price, Ann Veneman, and others. We truly consider The Chartreuse Muse to be Modesto's art center—the building itself is art, from its Art Deco architecture to the bright murals on the northwest wall, but mostly it is the artist-teachers who have brought us back time after time. We love that the Chartreuse Muse helps expand the community's artistic abilities and that they showcase local artists we've really come to admire."

"Jude has loved everything about his art class. He says that Madison is a wonderful teacher and that she is so encouraging and inspiring. He loves that he is learning and exploring different art methods and mediums and he is super excited to continue his education and growth in art. We have been VERY satisfied."

"For all the years I've known her, Sandy has affirmed and supported me, constantly boosting my confidence through her encouragement and inspiration to continually hone my artistic skills. Techniques learned as a young child in her fundamentals classes I still use decades later as a professional artist. Her excitement and light-hearted nature towards the craft are infectious as she is ever enthusiastic to venture into new projects, emboldening those around her to do likewise. Steady encouragement and thoughtful, creative energy are hallmarks of her warm and uplifting prodding towards better and greater growth in all those around her."

"I love to see the progress of when Bailey does art at home. She's less intimidated to try a new picture subject and is now enjoying art!"
