Every child has a story to tell.

Hi, I’m Eriny, the artist and instructor behind Little VanGogh Art Academy.

For over 17 years, I have been teaching art to children, teens, and adults. I believe art is a powerful language, and I am passionate about helping children find confidence as they express their feelings and imagination through colour and lines.

I believe every child has a story to tell. My studio is a warm, joyful space where kids feel safe to explore, try new things, and be proud of what they create. I meet each child with patience, encouragement, and a genuine love for their unique artistic voice.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and a Pre-Master’s Degree in Art Education. I have painted murals for homes and businesses across Egypt and Canada. I work with oil painting, acrylic, watercolour, charcoal, pastel, and mixed media — giving young artists the chance to discover what inspires them most.

Little VanGogh Art Academy is a place where kids feel seen, supported, and excited to create. I’m grateful for every young artist who walks through my door : )
