Discover Art
Expressing yourself through art is innate in us as human beings. There’s no ‘right’ way, and you only become more confident in your ability through doing. I have taught groups and individuals, of all ages and abilities. Fulfilment as an instructor is seeing how each person develops their own style, acquires confidence with the materials and tools and begins to share how they interpret the world around them.

Words from previous students
I began taking private lessons from MariJana after attending an oil painting course she held at MAMA (Modern Art Museum Albury). I’d had no experience with the medium prior, but MariJana, through her practical teaching style, taught me how to work with different paint types, mix colours and look at the world through the eyes of a painter.
Art lessons with MariJana were my favourite time of the week. She is not only fun and enthusiastic to work with, but she also really helped me to develop my technical skills and creativity in drawing and painting very quickly.
Take a trip to France with MariJana. She is a working artist and a fabulous tutor. Imagine yourself in the French countryside, cobbled streets, plane trees, and then there is the food and wine!
Take the artistic adventure of a lifetime and you will come home with a portfolio that says ‘made in France’ to share with friends and family. You will also enjoy expert tuition, new friends and great company.
I thoroughly enjoyed my course in beginners oil painting taught by Marijana Van Zanten, her expert knowledge and quirky, enjoyable way of teaching was exactly what I needed to kick start my own art practice.
