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

The one thing I have learned about creative arts expression is that it is best when it captures the movement. One thing, the best thing I learned early on, is that life, and life expression is art and that is dynamic. Consider art in motion, like a really good action shot whether it be in sports or editorial or journalistic photography or illustration. Its moving both physically AND emotionally. It moves.

It's not all about an end goal or product but often includes a product. I find that when produc...

Kay P. says, " Julie has a wonderful positive attitude towards all her students. She is always available to help with anything, even if a student forgets something. The studio is well stocked. She teaches broad concepts in all her lessons but also is available to give small pointers to solve particular artistic problems. One suggestion, is that Julie streamline her studio as I find it a bit intimidating to avoid bumping or knocking something in the studio. I enjoy her lessons and have learned many new techniques to improve my watercolor art. " 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.
