  • 5/5 from Serrini Ji, attended May 2025: I really like how Anna scaffolds the drawing techniques for new learners. Very detailed teaching and the welcoming and supporting environment helps me learn confidently and creatively. Also, the drawing tools are brand new, which shows that Anna prepared the class very well and showed her respect to the learners. Love it!
  • 5/5 from My Dang, attended May 2025: As the first time I handled on the watercolour, it’s has been so much easier than what I’ve guessed under the instructions from Miss Anna who guided very detailed and simplest ways to lead the beginners easy to catch up. For me, this is not only a workshop but also can help me relax my mind after a working week.

Hi, I'm Annabeth, and welcome to An's Art Studio—where creativity meets peace of mind. The name "An" comes from the Vietnamese phrase “an yên, ” which means peace of mind, and that’s exactly what I hope to bring to every workshop.
My cozy, home-based studio in the Chadstone/Ashwood area is the perfect space for you to slow down, focus, and express yourself through art. With intimate class sizes (just 6 people per session), I make sure everyone gets the guidance and freedom to bring their own ideas to life.
Whether you're a complete beginner or already dabbling in art, my classes are designed to help you embrace your unique creative voice. We go beyond the usual paint-and-sip—it's about meaningful art-making, visualizing your stories, and finding joy in the process.
NEW: Starting this year, I’ll also be hosting a monthly Sunday workshop at Docklands, bringing art vibes to the city with fun, themed classes open to all levels.
Let’s create something that brings you peace and excitement—together!
