How it all Started...

Founded in 2022 by Ms Elfin Ng, an educator with 20 years of experience working with children, she established stART Studio as the place to begin art for the young and old alike.

Our Story

Our story begins with Ms Elfin Ng, who through her own exploration, started her art journey and discovered the therapeutic benefits of the creative process.

Motivated by this revelation, she started her journey to offer holistic art education to promote confidence and emotional well-being for all ages.

The studio goes beyond traditional art education. Through a supportive environment, individuals both young and old, can unlock their creative potential, boost self-esteem, and experience the joy of artistic expression.

This transformative journey is where art becomes a powerful tool for building confidence, calmness, and emotional well-being.
