Marjan possesses a combination of self taught skills and traditional artistic schooling. She is somewhat of a zealot when it comes to art, it's value and role in culture and individual life, so you may expect her to share this passion during sessions. One of Marjan's worst fears is to lose the use of her hands, it would probably cause her to curl up and die.

Nicole is an open, genuine, and easily excitable individual with a searing passion for art, theatre, cosplay, horrendously ill-timed dark humor, and sweets. Some of her favorite pastimes are watching sunsets/anime, attending concerts, and having fake interviews in the shower. Please feel free to talk to her about anything! She loves meeting new people.

Joseph is a passionate artist who was born in the Philippines. His family moved to the suburbs of Maryland when he was seven in pursuit of a better future. Joseph's family nurtured his love for the arts at young age through frequent visits to art museums and galleries. He owes gratitude to his professors for helping him find his voice as an artist and developing his artistic abilities. Joseph received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in general fine arts with a concentration in painting. In 2014, Joseph had an opportunity to train and study painting and restoration techniques under Roberta Lapucci in Florence, Italy. He loves to share his knowledge of art with anyone who is willing to listen and hopes that others have a great time unleashing their creativity at Muse.

Kelsey is here to make you smile! Her art is influenced by the use of bright colors, storytelling, and an unlimited imagination. She attended St. Mary's College of Maryland, the National Public Honors College, where she received her BA in Fine Art and studied painting, printmaking, sculpture, and book arts. When she is not absorbed by making her wildest imaginations come to life, Kelsey can be found volunteering at local art nonprofits and teaching after school and youth programs. She enjoys being an active participant in her community and evens looks for ways to recycle materials that would otherwise end up in the trash. Her newest art endeavor involves transforming stacks of old newspapers into fantastical colorful dragons, in order to reuse everyday objects and add more whimsy to the world. Kelsey believes that anyone can be an artist as long as you put your heart into it.

Felicia is a self taught artist from Maryland. From a young age, she started pencil drawings and took inspiration from her father, who is a watercolor artist, to start painting. Her favorite medium is acrylic because it best suits her free and fluid style. When she isn't painting, she is a makeup artist and works on a different kind of canvas. Felicia hopes to bring out everyone's artistic side at Muse.
