Art 'N You Art 'N You is an artist-based company promoting the arts and the artist in you! Through focused arts instruction to young, old, in-between, and those simply young at heart, our goal is to assist each person in tapping into their creative, artisitic gift. Art 'N You is a working artist company, offering murals, interior finishes, and other commissioned artwork.

We believe that art is more than just the visual and sensory expression of creativity.

Art can often also be the path through which self-confidence and self-esteem grow. For some, art is the means by which healing comes for past hurts – abandonment, abuse, neglect, trauma, and even the common struggles of life.

Classroom Art 'N You offers classes in art to students in both private and classroom settings. We cover large format art such as murals, as well as traditional formats such as canvas-framed painting, and introduce students to the diverse art expressions of sculpture, mixed-media, textiles, and other creative formats. We teach art history, introduce students to various art forms, and explore new expressions with our students.

Art 'N You founder Michelle Honles has developed fine art programs at various private and public schools in Ventura County, has taught for over 13 years in both classroom and private settings. Her classes have been offered in Camarillo during the summer to students through the Pleasant Valley Recreation and Parks District for a number of years. Prior to coming to Ventura County in 2002, Michelle taught art at the K-12 level at a private school in Pasadena, California.
