About Us
At Chalk N Pencils, our name is a metaphor for the artistic journey.
“Chalk” represents the early stages of creativity, much like childhood, where art is about exploration without concern for permanence or precision. Chalk, forgiving and non-staining, symbolizes this free-spirited experimentation. As artists mature, they move to
“Pencils” – tools for more detailed, technique-focused work, embodying the refinement and skill development in older children and adults. Our name reflects our commitment to nurturing every stage of the artistic journey, from free exploration to skilled expression.
An Art Atelier
We’ve created the ultimate art learning environment focused on a personalised experience. Our small, intimate studio space features a low teacher-student ratio, providing each young artist with the individual attention they need to thrive. And with a well-stocked art supplies cabinet filled with everything from paint to brushes, we guarantee a creative, hands-on experience that’s both engaging and enjoyable.
A Place to Express
At Chalk N Pencils, imagination soars and creativity knows no limits. Our painting classes welcome all, from the experienced artist to the curious beginner, offering a spectrum of opportunities to explore artistic expression. Our vibrant studio is fully stocked with a variety of art supplies, from pencils and pastels to watercolours and oils, providing everything needed to realise your artistic vision. Step into our welcoming space, relax, and let your creativity flow freely. We’re excited to see the wonderful artworks you’ll bring to life!
For All Ages N Levels
At Chalk N Pencils, we offer a range of art classes to suit every age and skill level. Our weekly art class is designed to help young children explore their creative abilities and develop their interests in a supportive and tailored environment. During holiday breaks, our holiday art workshops provide a fun and educational option for children to keep busy and unleash their imaginations.
Our adult art classes offer adults a chance to learn the fundamentals of drawing and painting in a well-equipped studio. With the guidance of our experienced instructors, you’ll develop new skills and find the confidence to express yourself through art.
Since 2009
Since her graduation from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 2009, Ms Kheng started assisting in their children’s program.
2010, she began teaching as an instructor in Primary and Secondary Schools. Her first encounter with pre-school children was at NAFA Arts Kindergarten which changed the way she perceived children’s art.
“Art for children is something very different. Unlike art to adults, it’s an expression for them.”
– Ms Kheng

Ms Quin
Teacher
McQuin’s passion for art began at a young age, where she first captured attention with her talent, winning small awards and having her works presented and gifted to her school principals. Despite her early interest in art, McQuin pursued a diploma in Music from Lasalle College of the Arts, solidifying her deep connection to creativity across different mediums. It wasn’t until 2020, during the global pandemic, that McQuin rediscovered her love for visual art. This rekindled passion led her to launch her own art business, where she not only created and sold her works but also donated a portion of her earnings to charitable causes.
Her self-taught journey has allowed McQuin to cultivate a distinctive style and voice, centered around the belief that art should be both expressive and impactful. She has since expanded her practice by teaching art to children ranging from 3 to 17 years old at various art studios, as well as holding workshops for adults. In her teaching, McQuin emphasizes empathy, believing that understanding each student’s unique perspective is key to nurturing creativity and building confidence.
McQuin continues to grow as both an artist and educator, driven by her mission to inspire others through art while fostering a community of learning and compassion.

Ms Lau graduated from LASALLE College of the Arts with a Diploma in Fashion Textile in 2012, after which she taught as an art instructor at several art studios and local schools. Through these teaching experiences, she has taught ages ranging from 4 to 17.
