About me

Avana Art Studio is a creative art studio in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, founded by artist and educator Ava Khanjani. The studio offers kids art classes, painting classes, drawing classes, and creative art workshops designed to help children explore imagination, self-expression, and confidence through art.

Ava’s teaching approach is inspired by nature, movement, and the quiet freedom found in creative expression. She believes art is not only about making images, but about experiencing the world — through color, texture, rhythm, and mark-making.

At Avana Art Studio, art becomes a process of discovery. Children are encouraged to work with natural materials, explore ideas at their own pace, and connect creativity with place, time, and emotion. The focus is on process over perfection, allowing each child to develop their own artistic voice in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Rooted in simplicity, lightness, and imagination, Ava’s work reflects a deep love for nature and a belief that creativity should feel free, joyful, and meaningful. Through small-group art classes in Rancho Santa Margarita, children are guided to observe, experiment, and express themselves confidently through painting and drawing.

Whether your child is new to art or already passionate about creating, Avana Art Studio provides a welcoming space where creativity grows naturally.
