The ArtWay is a learning center that offers classes and workshops for adults, youth and children. Our goal is student centered learning, we teach you the basics and then you guide us. We will teach you what you want to learn, follow the path you choose to creating your own masterpieces.
The ArtWay was founded, January 2010, by prominent local artist Denna Erickson. For many years Denna has wanted to provide the community with a center that teaches art as a journey, as a process rather than as an end result. Denna teaches students how to tap into their creative side, how to put onto paper the beauty that they see around them. The ArtWay is the result of a dream – a learning center for people of all ages and ability levels. We are a business that offers classes for children youth and adults.

Denna Erickson has been passionate about art ever since she was a young girl. With her artistic eye, Denna has always been able to see the beauty in her surroundings and in the simplest of things. During her growing up years in Edmonton, Alberta, Denna experimented with drawing and painting like all other kids her age, but it wasn’t until her late teens when her true talent was drawn out through the art classes taught by local artist named Eileen Raucher-Sutton. It was through Eileen’s classes that Denna became inspired to one day open up her own art school. It has been a dream of hers ever since.
After realizing her artistic talent and creativity through Eileen’s art program, Denna went on to study art at the University of Victoria and Emily Carr University. After earning 2 degrees (Bachelor of Art Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts), Denna proceeded to teach art in the public and private school systems for over 16 years. During this time, Denna also pursued her own art career as a painter and has her artwork on display in many professional art galleries all over Canada.
