Impastato Gallery & Art Therapy — Attraction in Mandeville

WOW! If you are looking for a way to bring a piece of NOLA back with you that is both artsy and personal, go with Elizabeth at Impastato. We did a couples paint session -- complete with goodies and champagne -- and flew back to Pennsylvania with two unique canvases of NOLA. I did a shot-gun house and my man did a trolley. Elizabeth guides you and leans back. She does not do the work for you, but allows you to explore your creative side. As a teacher myself, I know the importance of being a "guide on the side" and not the "sage on the stage." Do not hesitate to book a session at this studio. It is a calming moment in the middle of your travel and you walk away with a priceless piece of artwork!! (she is about 40 minutes outside of New Orleans across Lake Pontchartrain)....

You just do not want to put the brush down. This Gallery is like a retreat and it is because of Elizabeth's love of helping and healing through art. Voted Best Artist & Gallery, it is clear to see; this Gallery is...

Not only is she extremely patient and attentive, she is a pleasure to be around! Elizabeth's passion for art and her desire to ensure a rewarding experience for her students are a winning combination! I highly recommend her as...
