I was surprised at how much I loved my experience with Paint and Heal. I went so I could spend some time with an old friend. I've never been able to paint anything and I honestly wasn't looking forward to that because I didn't think I could. I absolutely love my painting and I'm in awe every time I look at it! I can't believe I painted it and it feels so good to realize I'm capable of creating something so beautiful! It was a wonderful experience that I'd love to do again. I highly recommend it to anyone!

Ginny has been amazing in helping me to “see” things in a different way. She is patient and not overbearing. She encourages me to develop in my own way as an artist. She gives me constructive instruction when I ask or when I get flustered with my progress. She makes it easy to relax and enjoy creating. I would recommend her to anyone serious about learning to “do” art or become more skilled as an artist.
