When people create, something shifts
Ayesa Kaur is a professional artist and educator based in Sammamish, Washington — and the founder of Science Artistry LLC.
She began teaching art because she believed something simple and powerful: when people make things with their hands, something shifts. It doesn't matter if you're six years old or eighty-six. Creating gives you access to a version of yourself that doesn't get much time in the rest of daily life.
Her sessions bring together science, culture, and artistic technique — but the science is just one lens she uses. When she's teaching watercolor to a group of seniors, the focus is on color, water control, the quiet pleasure of watching pigment bloom across paper. When she's with a kindergarten classroom, it might be orcas and ink, or moon phases and oil pastel. The art shifts. The care doesn't.
She has served as artist-in-residence for elementary STEAM art programs, and every lesson she develops joins the studio's growing lesson library.
Three guiding principles
The room shapes the session
Every workshop is built around the actual people attending: their age, energy, skill level, what they're there for. No two sessions are identical.
Everyone leaves with something real
Not a half-finished craft. Finished, meaningful artwork — something worth framing, keeping, or sharing. Work that makes people proud.
Art and curiosity belong together
Whether the context is science, culture, or pure technique, great art starts with genuine interest in the world. Curiosity makes the work sing.
Art techniques and approaches
Watercolor
Wet-on-wet, glazing, color mixing, water control — from flowing abstracts to detailed realism.
Pastel
Blending, layering, working on dark paper for dramatic color and texture.
Printmaking
Stamping, monoprint techniques, relief printing — hands-on and tactile.
Ink & Line Art
Scientific illustration style, contour drawing, and expressive mark-making.
Dot Painting
Aboriginal-inspired technique taught with cultural context and meditative practice.
Texture & Mixed Media
Oil pastel resist, salt textures, layered materials — where experimentation leads the way.
Reference artwork & inspiration
Paintings, pieces, and source material from across Ayesa's artistic practice.
