Dear Art Community,
With loads of gratitude and optimism, I am announcing the closure of Cloud 9 Art School.
As my art career and life are evolving into new and exciting directions, on September 5, 2025 (Cloud 9’s eight year anniversary!) , I will be closing the school. Cloud 9 has been an amazing chapter in my life. I have loved bringing teaching artists and students of all ages together. Over 50 artists have taught thousands of students and it has been a joy to be a part of this artistic community.
I will continue teaching online and in-person for years to come, offering travel art adventures, and exhibiting my work. To continue to learn about my upcoming workshops, my exhibits and other shenanigans, please follow me on my website, on Facebook, or on Instagram.
I am so grateful for your friendship, support and patronage over the years. It has been a privilege to serve you through Cloud 9 Art School. I cherish the memories and relationships I've built with students and teachers alike. I hope you continue to follow your artistic longings and that our paths continue to cross.
Bella la vita!
Charlene Collins Freeman
“When I returned home yesterday, I told my husband that your class was the best one I have ever taken. I am very excited. It actually gave me goosebumps!”
“I’m so glad I took your drawing class. Looking back at my past work, the current work I’m creating is more accurate and my visual ability has improved. I’ve been drawing more and now tackling painting again. Thank you!”
“Both my wife and I have been taking sketching and painting classes from Charlene. I have to say that the quality of art education that I am receiving from Charlene is staggering. I have spent 3 years of my life learning art for an MFA degree at Academy of Art University San Francisco, and I must say that the education I am receiving at Cloud 9 is way superior to those years of my art education from a university. I highly recommend Charlene and her art school, Cloud 9, to anyone who wishes to get a strong foundation to their artistic skills and push themselves further to rediscover the joy of creativity and eliminate all fears while following their passion.”
