About Zelia
Hi, I’m Zélia, I’m 14 years old, and I’ve always loved drawing and painting. I’ve been taking art classes for almost two years, which has helped me explore different techniques and develop my own style.
Art is something I practice almost every day. I especially enjoy detailed, realistic work, and I like focusing on observation, precision, and small details, depending on the subject and technique. I mostly work with acrylic, watercolor, and drawing (sketching), and I am comfortable teaching all three.
What matters most to me is helping kids enjoy the creative process and feel proud of what they make. I like explaining things clearly, showing first, and then letting them experiment on their own. If something feels difficult or frustrating, I help them adjust and keep going instead of giving up.
Alongside art, I also run a small creative business with my sister, selling handmade cards at markets and in stores in San Francisco, where I live. This has helped me learn how to turn my art into a product and share my work with others.

Looking for a creative, hands-on activity for your child — away from screens and pressure?
My art lessons are for kids from age 5 to 12 and can be taken individually or in small groups (up to 6 kids), including birthday events. We explore sketching, watercolor, acrylic, colored pencils, and calligraphy, with a focus on creativity, basic techniques, and enjoying both the process and the result!
Lessons are generally 1 hour online or 1h30 in person, depending on your needs. In-person classes take place at our house only, where an adult is always present.
Materials can be discussed in advance depending on the class.
Classes can be taught in English or French.
Each lesson usually starts with a short demonstration, then kids work on a theme, a model to copy, or their own ideas. I guide each child individually and help them adapt if something feels difficult. Classes are suitable for beginners and mixed levels, and pricing varies depending on the number of kids.

Zélia has a very natural way with kids. They feel comfortable with her right away. She’s patient, explains things simply, and doesn’t rush them. The classes feel relaxed and fun, but kids are still learning and making real progress. It’s a really nice balance.
What I appreciate about Zélia is the balance she creates between having fun and staying focused. Kids enjoy her classes, but there is still a clear framework and expectations, which helps them stay engaged and finish what they start. She is calm, attentive, and knows how to guide children without taking over. It’s an environment where kids feel encouraged to try, make mistakes, and improve, while still having a really good time.
Zélia is very comfortable with kids and creates a calm, friendly atmosphere where they feel at ease. She is patient and explains things in a simple, clear way that works especially well with younger children. Her approach makes art accessible and enjoyable, even for kids who are hesitant at first. Classes feel relaxed and convivial, giving kids a chance to create, learn, and genuinely enjoy their time while improving their skills.
