"That was fun, informative and motivating for me to get back to drawing. Your manner is just right for teaching: gentle, patient, and eager to help." ~Cynthia
"Thank you so much for the great program! It was helpful to have a class format in order to dedicate time to this topic. I also loved the drawing warm ups, and the inspiration from the young artists, as well as the reading. Delightful!" ~Susan
