Glenna A. says, "Debbie has been my art teacher for nearly two years and was my son’s art teacher for many years. She is an extremely talented artist and exceptionally engaging art teacher. She is able to work with multiple mediums and materials and she is both flexible in terms of meeting students where they are at and in terms of what they are interested in doing/producing while at the same time providing enough guidance and structure to ensure that students actually learn. She is also gifted at teaching all ages from children to teens to adults. Her style is creative, open, and caring but also serious and well grounded in years of artistic experience and training. I always look forward to my lessons with her." Read more

Alfredo is a super mentor. He starts with basics but if you have experience he will go where you want. He works on a painting simultaneously with you. Color theory, Values, etc. Well worth it.

Olivia was dedicated to teaching our teen fundamentals of drawing - kind, engaged, talented and supportive! Our daughter is a self-taught artist and wanted the "basics" and portrait drawing as a foundation - Olivia met her where she was at, gave great feedback and created a welcoming warm space to learn.
