★★★★★Nick CWe hosted our daughter’s 5th birthday party at Ms. Dee’s Art Therapy OC studio and it was a huge success. All of the kids had an amazing time. Ms. Dee went above and beyond to prepare the studio and made the entire event feel thoughtful and personal. She created beautiful Sanrio-themed canvases for all the children, and even made a special Pokémon canvas for my son because she knew that would make him happy. She also brought in an extra helper to assist with the kids, which made everything run smoothly. This was a drop-off party, which may not be for everyone, but all of our parent guests appreciated having two hours to relax, walk around Newport, and enjoy a little break while knowing their kids were in great hands. The kids were engaged, focused, and proud of the art they created. In addition, my children have been attending Ms. Dee’s art classes and various camps for years. Both of them absolutely love it. Ms. Dee is warm, patient, creative, and genuinely cares about children and the arts. She creates such a positive environment for kids to explore and express themselves. We highly recommend Ms. Dee and Art Therapy OC—both for birthday parties and for ongoing classes. Five stars.
★★★★★ConnieOur family has loved our experiences at Art Therapy OC with Miss Dee and Snickers! We have done a private mommy-and-me session, a wonderful birthday party for my daughter and weekday workshops. Every time, both my daughter and son leave with huge smiles, a sense of pride and joy from creating something of their own with Diana's intuitive and encouraging guidance. Diana is wonderful with her gentle suggestions to spark each child's creativity and has so many fun tools and resources for the kids to use. You truly feel like there is no limit to what you can create in her studio! Please don't hesitate to visit or try one of her wonderful workshops...you won't regret the experience.
