It's great working with a student like Lon! He's well prepared, ambitious, and motivated to learn. Lon is super receptive and open to feedback which is wonderful and really helpful as a teacher. He asks great questions and stays involved, really working through the painting thought process during lessons. Super excited to work with him more! :)

She asks great questions during lessons, is super prepared each time, great at communicating and is just an overall joy to work with! Really looking forward to working with her more! :)

Julie and her daughter are awesome! She was great with communication and getting the lesson setup. Her daughter is super bright and talented for her age and very open to teaching.

Tom is a really great student! He's super interested in the subject material and open to exploring different techniques and skills. His work shows a lot of promise and he has a great idea of where he wants it to go. Looking forward to working with him more!

Robert is a great student! He's a very enthusiastic learner and best of all, he's really self motivated. It's the best when a student has already studied on the fundamentals so we can jump ahead to applying those and push his art even further. Students like Robert make teaching so fun and easy, really excited to work with him more!

Nilaja is a great student! She was open and honest about her goals and where she is at currently so I could know exactly where to start our lessons at, skill wise. Best of all, she has an exciting and clear goal to work towards and obviously has the passion to do so which makes teaching so easy (and fun)! Very relaxed and friendly, super excited to help her along her journey!

Rick is a wonderful student! Very laid back and easy going student who’s super excited by learning. He was very up front about what he wanted out of the lessons and responded promptly. Best of all, he speaks up when he has questions so I can really help clarify any issues he might have and deliver the information fully. He makes the lessons a breeze as he’s a very nice person and a really great student! Highly recommend!

Julie is a teacher's dream student! She came to me with clear goals in mind for her work that made it so easy to help her get to where she wants to be. She is quick to understand concepts and easily reflects them in her artwork which is so exciting as a teacher! She has always been super flexible with any rescheduling and understanding during technical issues. Julie is an awesome student! :)
