Mission statement
“growing artists, helping artists grow”
Our mission statement is twofold:
First, we grow artists. We seek to create family-friendly opportunities for art and creativity, to expose all individuals to art, both children and adults. We do this through offering art and craft parties and tutoring. See our services below.
Secondly, we help artists grow. We seek to provide opportunities for artists to instruct, to write, and to further their reach.

Our future vision for Knoe Studios LLC
We would love to create a maker space in Oviedo, FL or nearby. We envision a property capable of individual workspaces, shared workspaces, and space for classes. We envision recurring art and craft fairs, as well as master classes. If you share our vision and would like to help towards this community goal, please let us know!
Our Services
classes and parties
We offer unique art and craft classes. Our class instructors are professional artists with real-world experience. The instructors design the paintings and projects specifically around certain artistic skills and techniques. We offer tutoring and we can work with home-school groups to incorporate the curriculum themes.
You can book Knoe Studios to teach a creative class party at your home, business, or event room. Please message us with the type of party (child’s birthday, baby shower, etc.) as well as the type of project you’d like or the theme of the party.

Our Instructors
Emily Knoe
Emily Skeene Knoe has worked in many mediums, and enjoys multi-media the most.
See her portfolio here.
She is the co-owner of Knoe Studios LLC with her husband, Victor Knoe. She began her first art-related business, called Chimera Artworks, while still in high school. During this time, she was dual-enrolled in high school and community college, seeking an AA in Business Management. Emily studied drafting for four years during high school, through a unique program offered by the school. She also began to study photography in high school, switching to the college courses at the community college when she exhausted the offerings at the high school.
She received her AA in Business Management in 2004. After spending some time, climbing the business ladder in many different industries (retail management, the financial industry, even pest control!) she returned to school to seek her BA in Art Education at the University of Central Florida in spring of 2007. Emily and Victor met at UCF and married, after Victor graduated, in 2011. While still working full time, Emily was able to accumulate 126 credit hours towards the degree in Art Education (lacking very few courses) before needing to take medical leave in 2013. She hopes to return to school soon to finish her degree. In November of 2013, Emily and Victor welcomed their baby girl, Ramona, into the world.
Through her diverse background, Emily’s experiential reservoir feeds into her artistic ability. She often uses alternative techniques and methods to create her art.
