New Cairo · since 2021
An art school in New Cairo that uses art as therapy. Children, teens and adults — guided by Mona Saleh, Professional Art Therapist, Contemporary Artist and Art Instructor.
Taught in partnership with Europa-Schule Neu Kairo
Two ways in
Both are welcome, and both are taken seriously. The materials are the same. What changes is why you are holding the brush.
Kids & teens
Ages 4–14 · term courses
Technique and freedom in equal measure. Students move through watercolour, acrylic, clay and mixed media, learn to finish what they start, and carry the piece home the same day. Taught at the studio and inside Europa-Schule Neu Kairo.

Private
One-to-one · all ages
For a child who cannot find the words, a teenager under pressure, an adult who has not made anything in years. No skill is required and nothing is graded. What you make stays yours — it is never shown without your permission.
Enquire privately →How a session runs
Bags down, aprons on, a few minutes of nothing. Rushing straight into the paint never works.
Watercolour to loosen up, acrylic to commit, clay when hands need to do the thinking.
Guidance when it is asked for, quiet when it is not. Nobody is corrected in front of the room.
A finished piece leaves with you. Seeing it on your own wall is half of what the work does.
What is running
Dates and fees change from term to term, so we would rather tell you the current ones than leave an old number on a page.

No stock photography and no illustrations we bought. These are real sessions, real hands, and real paint that was still wet. Tap any image to open it.
The person behind the easel
Professional art therapist · Contemporary artist · Art instructor
“Draw. Express. Relieve stress.”
Mona founded Art to Heart in 2021 for a simple reason: she kept meeting people who had something to say and no safe way to say it. She works as a contemporary artist and teaches inside schools as well as at the studio, and she has spoken about art therapy on Egyptian television. Every course here is designed by her, and she is usually the one in the room.
