Welcome to Old Schoolhouse Art, a vibrant showcase of the fine art created by Alivia Rubino!

Here, her watercolor paintings spring to life, inspiring a variety of art products that capture the essence of nature. Nestled in Tolland, CT, Alivia's studio, housed in a charming old schoolhouse, serves as a creative sanctuary where the beauty of the natural world is thoughtfully reimagined. Each piece is a testament to her passion, resulting in stunning stationery and one-of-a-kind gifts that invite the appreciation of nature’s splendor into everyday life.

Based on New England wildlife, this alphabet set is a beautiful addition to the walls of a nursery, classroom, or any living space. Showcasing the diversity of the region’s woodlands, these cards offer an advanced form of learning for young nature enthusiasts. Each card begins with an original watercolor painting by artist Alivia Rubino. She designs the cards, which are then printed on high-quality, thick cardstock with a soft-touch finish, ensuring an heirloom-quality product.
