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.

Mandar is an amazing artist and he’s equally as wonderful with kids. This is our second year in painting class with Mandar and my two 7 year olds love it! Besides teaching them skills, Mandar always comes up with creative and engaging projects. My boys have come home with many new pieces of art they are very proud of (and are frame worthy at home too). Highly recommend!

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.
