About Art Nook SF

Art Nook SF was founded in 2025 by Najin, a working artist with an MFA from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She has exhibited her oil paintings in galleries and has formal training in drawing, painting, and design.

 

Her interest in education began while guiding her daughter and her friends in creative activities. Through this experience, she found meaning in watching children explore ideas and express themselves through art, which naturally led her to guide other young artists. She has also served as a guest art instructor at Argonne Early Education School (SFUSD).

 

At Art Nook, we believe each artistic journey is unique. The studio offers a welcoming space where students of all ages can explore, create, and grow at their own pace. Each week, students work with a variety of materials, expanding their skills while discovering new ways to express their ideas. With thoughtful guidance, Najin supports steady development and artistic confidence, while leaving room for creative choice.

 

Balancing structure and flexibility is at the heart of her teaching philosophy and Art Nook SF.
