Creative Life Coaching

Welcome to Alley Cat Arts Studio. My name is Tana Johnoff. I am an art teacher from Maumee, Ohio, and my studio is located on the beautiful campus of the Monclova Community Center. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Art (Multi-age) and am currently completing my master’s in school counseling at the University of Toledo. Here you will find art classes for all ages and abilities in a judgment-free atmosphere. The studio's mission is twofold: to use my educational expertise to teach courses that help students develop their artistic talent, and to provide a safe space for healing through the arts and other calming modalities for individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, and a lack of purpose. Please review my site and contact me if you have questions or are ready to take positive steps toward a new, more meaningful life! Your best life is just a click away…

“Tana is not only highly competent in instruction and generating excellent projects, she is also very skilled at adapting classroom activities to the needs of each student.  Tana is always patient, gracious, and attentive when our children arrive.  She beautifully accesses the strengths and weaknesses of each child and develops curriculum accordingly, which helps each and every one of them feel like they have a place.”
