Leah Higgins teaches painting classes in her studio. I have been a student of hers for a couple of years. Leah has a talent for teaching students of all levels of experience, including no experience. She makes learning fun, yet at the same time, challenges you to attempt new things. I have conquered my fear of painting the ocean and portraits thanks to Leah.
If you are looking for a fun and relaxing class, Leah is the teacher for you.

Wonderful local talent. Much of her work reflects our great culture and scenic beauty of San Diego. Her work looks at ease even next to a Leroy Neiman. We love her work and just as important, Leah is very personable and enjoys interacting with her clients. It's a pleasure supporting such a talented artist who's paintings represent San Diego so well. When Leah has a showing of her work, it's worth your time to put the show on your schedule. And an added plus, Leah's printings are, for the most part, not extraordinary priced. We can't help but smile each time we pass her painting of La Jolla. If you have a chance to view her work and make a purchase, you won't regret it.

Leah Higgins is a skilled artist and teacher. If you are interested in buying or commissioning a painting of your home, bridal bouquet, sunset, anything...do it! Her last painting of the California tide pools was breathtaking. Or take her class and try to emulate her!

Leah is incredibly talented and her work is beautiful. I have commissioned two paintings personally and am so very happy with the results. Friends and family always comment on my gorgeous paintings. I have also commissioned Leah to paint the homes of several of my real estate clients. I have given these as thank you gifts and they are always favorite keepsakes for my clients to save through the years. I highly recommend this amazing artist!!!

Leah is inspiring, informative, talented (Duh!) instructor. The studio is set in a relaxed, non-stress environment. Leah's students include various artists ranging from the novice to the more advanced painter. Regardless of experience, each artist receives individual and equal attention.
And Leah is completely affordable. Additionally, you don't have to pay for classes that you might not be able to attend. I have been attending for three years and have enjoyed the "fruits of my labor" including paints fruits AND veggies with a couple of roosters thrown in to boot! I see progress with each completed new painting.
Thanks Leah!

Leah takes each individual student where they are in their training and moves them forward. She teaches the basics and them moves to more complex concepts. Then each artist paints their own interest whether it is acrylic, oil or watercolor. She is very positive. We have a goal of the month whether it is painting trees, portraits, black and white, with palate knife projects or still life’s. Class is always fun. Our classmates are also encouraging of each other and respectful. We have made good friends!

Leah is able to handle students of all skill levels and help each of us become better artists. She has the ability to identify the areas we are struggling with and demonstrate how to improve those areas. Leah is open to students using different types of mediums.

I love the art classes with Leah in her beautiful studio, she has a keen attention to detail and offers very specific critic which has been very helpful to me as I just started painting.

Leah is a wonderful teacher, very nurturing and encouraging and ofcourse very talented. She taught me how to paint with oils and how to compose a beautiful Painting. She also supported and continues to support my art journey as she does with each of her students. Leah provides the perfect atmosphere to blossom in her art class as she is so gifted and experienced with many art mediums, plus ofcourse the location of the class is just beautiful! You couldn’t ask for a better art teacher than Leah, she always makes you feel like you are special and her best student and that is the mark of a great teacher!

Knowledgeable and patient.
Great teacher.
