Help support the Art G.A.P.

DONATE GENTLY USED ART SUPPLIES... you know, that open box of crayons that has been sitting around collecting dust, or starting to melt...  or those Markers that you no longer use.

How about that stack of coloring books that is partially used, but your kids have outgrown.

Those things will be cherished and used in our art classes.

 What about the idea of giving a child an art lesson.  The average cost of a Lesson for a Classroom of 25 to 30 students is around $25 to 30.  Yes, Suzanne's Studio strives to keep costs at $1.15 per student, or less.  This allows for us to give the kids fresh supplies, new pencils, and nice drawing paper to use.  There's something special about being the FIRST to use a new set of crayons.  Every child will get the experience of using a NEW SET at some point in the program.  But we also emphasize using supplies wisely so that other students can use them too!  Donate though our Art Room Aid link: HERE!

Our newest product is our custom license plate frame.

About Suzanne

Suzanne Gibson born in Preston, England.  She moved to Torrance, California as a young child with her family, and has made the South Bay home for over 30 years.

Attended San Francisco State University and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Interior Design & Housing. After graduation, Suzanne returned to the South Bay and established her Fine Art & Interior Design business. 

Inspired by the world we live in, where we live, and the people around her, especially children, she works in a variety of mediums: oil, acrylic, watercolor, mosaics, pastel, collage, sculptured papers and colored pencils.  Suzanne’s educational focus it to bring art to all students, regardless of skill, experience, or financial situation. 

Suzanne also provides instruction for Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts who are working towards Art Badges & Belt Loops.  She has been an active docent for Adventures in Art (Torrance) since 2007.

In 2013 Suzanne expanded her art instruction to Buford and Felton Elementary Schools in Lennox and has since launched the ARTGAP,  a non-profit art education program.  The outreach of the ArtGAP brings art and experiences to Dapplegray Elementary in Palos Verdes, After school Programs in San Pedro, and the Parks and Recreation Art Program in Manhattan Beach.  Art has no boundaries.

Mural installations  include: “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” mural, St. James Catholic Pre-school, Redondo Beach.  “California Citrus”, private residence,  Los Feliz, California.  “A Whale’s Tale” and “Underwater Postcard” at a private residence in Long Beach, California.  And most recently a Mural Restoration project in West Los Angeles.
