Some student comments:
"Just a quick but hearty
thank you for a great art-making day. It was a pleasure being in
your studio and in your company. Great meeting the other budding
artists too. What a terrific destination for anyone living in the
city or the burbs needing an affordable mini-retreat!!! The
country setting, fresh air...ahhh...what a tonic. Oh, not to
mention the lunch and chocolate cream cheese dessert! Hell-o!!"
"Thank you for a
wonderful day spent on Saturday with you at your studio. What an
enjoyable, pleasant, fun, casual, relaxing, inspiring and
creative workshop. I so enjoyed my day! And I so enjoyed the
results of my art, that I am going to start a new project! I had
a blast...thank you!"
"It was just enough info
in any day but not overwhelming. I like that there was always
something to do to teach us a technique but not so long that my
attention wandered. And you gave me personally just the info to
help me get started that just hadn't been explained very clearly
in the books I had looked at in the past couple of years. And
being able to try different pencils and papers etc. was extremely
useful and would not have been possible without a lot of trial
and error and time and expense. Thanks."
"Thank you for all your
positive comments on my piece. You are an excellent teacher. I
hope I can take another class with you."
"Thanks so much for your
great inspiration."
