Dan Skaggs has been instructing both of our daughters for the past 8 years. Over that time, they have both become really good at any art-related task. In fact, my oldest daughter is now the President of her High School Graphics club. She has won a few awards and was even picked to present her work at the Long Beach Museum of Art. Dan has been very patient with teaching both daughters, and is an extremely knowledgeable teacher. My wife and I can’t say enough about how worthwhile Dan’s lessons have been!

His talent as an artist is matched by his ability to listen to what my skills are and teaching to my abilities while still challenging me to improve.
