About Us

Welcome to Amelia Art Studio

We welcome artists of all ages interested in forming new pathways for self-expression, the study of art as a discipline, and the exercise of creativity.

Located on Amelia Island, FL, the studio created by Lauren Templeton is mainly structured as a series of group classes, special workshops, and art events. With an emphasis on Arts Integration and Art History, Lauren’s teaching methods are focused on reinforcing the formal elements of art, the basic principles of design, and nurturing a long-lasting passion for art-making.
