About Us

How We Started

LDVE began six years ago when a group of students discovered that we could teach. In 2024, several passionate high schoolers volunteered to assist with elementary art classes at Little Da Vinci Art Studio. Together, we worked to support the younger artists and realized that we could inspire those beyond Little Da Vinci Art as well.

Now, LDVE strives to provide a space not only for elementary school students but also for differently abled individuals to explore creative expressions and experience the world of art. Through various programs and workshops, the organization hopes to foster inclusivity and encourage self-expression among all students, showcasing the transformative power of art.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore and creatively express their emotions through art, fostering meaningful connections, strengthen community bonds, and promoting mental well-being.

Meet Our Team

Connie earned her Master’s degree in Studio Art from Sungshin Women’s University in Seoul, Korea, and studied Architectural Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.

"Visual arts open new ways of seeing the world, expand perception, and empower individuals to communicate through a visual language. I strive to help students discover their own artistic voice, deepen their thinking, and express their creativity with confidence. Beyond mastering technical skills, I believe that art can become a journey of self-discovery and a means to understand the world. Through this process, I look forward to growing and exploring alongside my students."
