Pencil on Paper Gallery

We feel beyond fortunate that our daughter is able to take art classes here. She has improved so much in such a short time. It’s a beautiful space to learn art, yoga, and view the amazing art displayed here. The owners are warm, professional, and extremely talented! I would recommend Paper on Pencil not only to those preparing for a career in art, but also to anyone who loves art!

Pencil on Paper is a great Art gallery and Art studio ! Our daughter is taking Portfolio Art classes with Mr. Gillespie in preparation for Art colleges applications, and has had tremendous improvement in her art. Both Mr Gillespie and Dr. Gillespie are highly experienced working artists, educators, and passionate about art. If you are looking for a place to take Art classes, I highly recommend you look at pencil on Paper!

I could not be more thrilled with the class my youngest daughter is taking. She is now asking me when do we go back. Art combined with Yoga is just what she needed. My oldest son was taught by Mr. G in school. Now my daughter is being guided by Mrs. G and I could not be happier. We are in a time where kids need to focus on creativity and ways to center there’s a lot going on in the world and they need to Chanel it in positive ways. We found our way!

By far one of they most valuable yoga and art experience for my children. They left with a confidence boost that can only come from authentic care and time. That is what this studio provides! Authentic care and a great space the teacher was amazing and it’s a beautiful space. I would recommend to all people and I felt so safe leaving my little with the instructors. We will be back!!! Yes is my best google find yet!

Both my daughters — one of them age 21 and one age 8 — took classes at Pencil on Paper this summer. They had such a great experience. It seriously lifted us up this summer, enriching our lives. My older daughter took Saturday drawing from Emanuel Gillespie and learned and grew so much before heading back to college. My younger daughter enjoyed a weekday art class with Dr. Valerie Gillespie and had fun creating art (and learning in the process) around themes that interested her. I love this place and am SO grateful it’s right here in Addison/Farmers Branch/North Dallas area.
