In 2006, founder Stephanie Godbey opened Godbey School of Art for kids and adults in Orange County. Stephanie is a contemporary impressionist painter who has been painting in acrylics and oils for over 35 years and has exhibited her work throughout Southern California for the last 30 years. Her brightly colored art portrays her passion as a colorist, and she is working on mixed media incorporated into her acrylic paintings on canvas while striving to show a feeling of fluid motion in her abstract pieces and drawing inspiration from music while painting. The school describes its curriculum as providing a fun, self-esteem building atmosphere filled with “I did it” moments, with classes in which various art styles are discussed in detail and taught with guided instruction for students of all ages. Godbey School of Art is described as an award winning school of art for children and adults in Orange County, California and has received Best of Newport Beach Awards.

Parents and adult students describe Stephanie as patient, loving, kind, encouraging, fun, and hands-on, and say that their children look forward to class and have been attending since as young as age 4 or 5. Several parents note that their homes are filled with their children’s canvas paintings from holidays and other themes, and adult students report returning many times for Easel Bar sessions and workshops. Testimonials from parents and adult students from San Clemente, Newport Beach, Irvine, and Laguna Beach state that they highly recommend Stephanie and Godbey School of Art for both kids and adults.
