ARTEDEA-BOHEMIARTE
About Us
BOHEMIARTE School of Art was founded in 2000 by artist Irena Korosec. Later on the school was joined by artist Jane Arnot Kavanagh and together the two created ARTEDEA-BOHEMIARTE School (in studio and online classes). In 2020, Artedea-Bohemiarte decided to specialise in the individual apprenticeship program for traditional painting techniques by Old Masters, including gilding and restoration for advanced students only, while entering a reference partnership with Académie des Beaux-Arts de Montréal — ACADEM for the basic classical academic painting instructions. Moreover, Irena Korosec joined the ACADEM team of teachers, dividing her time between the two schools.
Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts (Painting and Restoration department) — Ljubljana, Slovenia, 1987. Recipient of many International Awards and Grants.
Teacher of classical art for over thirty years — Saidye Bronfman School of Arts, Dawson College, Bohemiarte School of Arts Montréal, Artedea Online School of Arts, Académie des Beaux-Arts — ACADEM.

Jane Arnot Kavanagh joined Bohemiarte in 2005 and spent 20 years teaching classical drawing, gilding, and restoration with extraordinary dedication and grace. Her warmth, precision, and deep love for the craft left a lasting impression on every student she guided. She was not only a gifted teacher but a true artist — and a generous soul who helped shape this school into what it is today. We are profoundly grateful for everything she brought to Artedea-Bohemiarte. Her legacy lives on in the work of all who had the privilege of learning from her.
