Hi, I'm Alisha!

I'm an artist, a veteran homeschool mom of three, and the founder of Masterpiece Society. As an artsy-craftsy mom, I embraced the Charlotte Mason educational philosophy early on. (Somehow I doubt Miss Mason was as messy as me, but...let's cut ourselves some slack as creatives, right?)

Living books, poetry, and nature studies drummed out the rhythm of our days…but how on earth was I supposed to make art lessons happen on a regular basis? Sure, there were local art teachers (pricey), a handful of video courses (which unfortunately made my kids snore), and the stack of art books on my table loomed dangerously beside my antique table lamp.

I didn’t just want to expose my kids to art—I wanted them to experience it.

It wasn’t until 2014, when my own kids were older that I finally had the time and bandwidth to do something about what I believed was a gaping void in the area of online art for kids and teens. So I pulled out my art supplies, grabbed a camera, and finally put my years of creative “me time” with a paintbrush to use. I began offering a full art curriculum (playful exploration of art + art appreciation) to other busy moms…and guess what?

My own kids (now adults) have embraced the messy, fun art life too…and together we’re helping other moms like you explore art with your kids in a fun, memory-making way.

Our Story

At the Masterpiece Society we don't just offer art lessons; we offer a complete curriculum: art training, art expression, art history and art appreciation! 

And, our courses aren't limited to only one art medium either. We offer graphite, charcoal, inks, acrylics (& oils), watercolors, soft pastels, oil pastels, mixed media, collage, sculpting, mosaics, reliefs, handicrafts and MORE!

Meet the Other Creative People Around Here

Although Masterpiece Society began with me, I'm certainly not the only creative person involved. Over the years, we've been blessed to work with talented artists and teachers who bring their own personalities, specialties, and creative approaches to our lessons.

And I think that's a good thing. After all, art would be rather boring if everyone painted the same way, wouldn't it?

I love that our students get to learn from different artists, explore different styles, and discover that there are so many ways to approach a blank page or canvas. 

BONUS: Each teacher is either a homeschool mom (or dad, counting my husband), student, or graduate! So, we know exactly what homeschooling families need.

Giving Back

Since its inception, the Masterpiece Society has been committed to giving back by donating 10% of all profits to charities and nonprofit organizations around the world.

This ongoing commitment reflects our heart and desire to make a meaningful impact beyond our business—supporting causes that provide orphanages, schools and education, business skills, clean water, rescue from trafficking and slavery, and hope to those in need.

Some of these charities include:

• Village Impact - Building schools, community programs, business training, and more throughout Kenya.
• Hope Homes  - Providing homes and education for orphans and abandoned children throughout India.
• Operation Underground Railroad - A global collective, boldly fighting to eradicate sex trafficking and child exploitation.
• Wings of Compassion - Providing homes in Kenya for unwed girls (victims of horrific crimes against them by gangs or family members) and their babies, while educating them and providing job training.
• A "security-sensitive' nonprofit organization - Rescuing entire families from slavery in brick kilns and providing them with job training and business skills.
• We also give through our connections and partnerships with other nonprofit organizations and charities in the following nations: Brazil, Cambodia, China, Egypt, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Panama, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, Cambodia, UK, and more to come!
