Student Testimonials:
““Caring and supportive. Interesting. Well informed about different techniques. Well done””
““The material was well-presented. The instructor was clear with directions, supportive in comments, and created a relaxed, supportive atmosphere in the class. I took the class to try to find may way back to painting after losing everything in the Palisades fire. I have felt unmoored, paralyzed. After this class, I feel like a person again, an artist who can begin to move forward once more. It was FABULOUS!””
