Words from past students:

Heidi West - 5 star review

"She was patient and was able to answer all of my questions."

Deb Davis - 5 star review

"Kathy was very patient and encouraging. I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination yet she encouraged me as I stepped out in uncharted territory for myself. I am so happy with the result!!! I now have a painting on my wall that I receive compliments on often! She had faith in me to create when I was skeptical myself. She draws the artistic and creative talents out of each person she works with. Thanks Kathy!"

Mary West - 5 star review

"Kathleen has such a wonderful energetic personality. Her love of art comes through her teaching skills & that makes learning fun for everyone. I have not only taken lessons from Kathleen but also worked with her during an art camp for children. She was truly amazing. The kids all followed her instructions eagerly & their creativity was allowed to blossom . 1st rate!"
