Welcome!

We are a new process art studio for kids located in Niantic, CT.

What is process art, anyway? Much like the name implies, it is all about the making and the doing. It is less about the outcome. And what a beautiful way to explore creativity as a kid. Less pressure = more fun!

DOODLES MISSION:

TO INSPIRE AND EMPOWER CHILDREN TO EXPLORE THEIR CREATIVITY FREELY THROUGH ART, PROVIDING A WELCOMING SPACE WHERE IMAGINATION CAN FLOURISH WITHOUT BOUNDARIES.

Doodles is your go-to space when you don’t want the mess at home.

Hi!  I’m Jenn.

I’m the studio owner and creative heart behind Doodles Art Studio in Niantic, Connecticut, a welcoming space where kids are encouraged to explore, experiment, and create in their own unique way.

As a former photographer, lifelong creative, and Mom, I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of imperfection. At Doodles, I believe children don’t need step-by-step instructions or perfect outcomes to make meaningful art. They need time, materials, and permission to be themselves.

My approach is rooted in process art—open-ended experiences that allow children to follow their curiosity, make choices, and build confidence through creative play. Whether a child is painting for the first time or building independently for hours, every idea is valued here.

Doodles Art Studio serves local families and homeschoolers in the Niantic area, offering art classes, open studio experiences, and creative workshops for a wide range of ages. More than anything, Doodles is a community space—one where kids feel safe to explore, parents feel supported, and creativity is celebrated just as it is.

I’m so glad you’re here, and I’d love to welcome your family into the studio!
