I really appreciated the way she set up safe spaces for artist to grow in their technique and not feel the pressure of judgement. I learned so much about how to learn and remix the lessons to fit my own message. She's a kind and honest teacher and I recommend her if you are looking for someone who is authentically interested in helping you be better where you are and all the while helping you to grow.
