My name is Suzana Montana. I am an artist, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and now a grandmother. I named my company after my two beautiful granddaughters, Zoe and Lili.

My love of art never strayed from my heart. My passion started at a very young age, influenced by my parents. Later, as an elementary school teacher I quickly realized that my students were more engaged if given the opportunity to be creative and express themselves through the arts. Now I can dedicate myself to help others connect to their “creative self”. As a trained Teaching Artist, I have taught classes in drawing, watercolor, collage and mixed medium. Upon retiring as an educator I decided to pursue my dream and am currently obtaining my degree in Art. My artwork has been shown at Gallery II, City Hall and the Fine Arts exhibit at the District Fair.

My favorite way to spend my day…. Painting

My artistic style has been influenced by the beauty of California’s landscapes, nature and scenery I have been blessed to experience while traveling.  I am also drawn to creating mixed media art that is soothing, yet playful and thoughtful. I invite you to browse through this site often to view my current artwork and learn about upcoming special events where we can enjoy great food, good friends and of course art!
