Sandra H. says, "I have known Twain as a college roommate and friend for almost two decades. She is both Godly gifted and naturally talented in the area of fashion design unlike any other. Her competition is only herself! She can do commercial fashion designs as well as spin hair from her rabbit, dye it and make clothes, mud cloth coats,wine bottle carriers, etc. Twain also is a fantastic teacher and educator, bar none, to illustrate on her spinning wheel, from the rabbit hair to the final yarn for use. Both children and adults are forever changed when watching the process. She also has made numerous one of a kind outfits for me and for my daughter who is an entertainer in LA. Her creativity knows no bounds and her patience is phenomenal. As I said, Twain is ONE-OF-A-KIND !!!! You would be fortunate to have her as a teacher who would impart skills that would last you a lifetime. For any additional information, you may reach me at 301-518-6534. Kind Regards, Sandra H.

I’ve had classes with Rob in an art league class setting, a small private in-home group setting, and also private one to one instruction in his studio. My painting skills really took off under his direction. With Rob’s help I began to actually see the subject and the lighting with different eyes. What I especially appreciate about Rob’s style of teaching is his special ability to meet each student where they are. He’s working to help each student to their next step, rather than trying to teach them to replicate his works. I highly recommended Rob as a portrait art instructor.

Twain is a real find in NYC. Where do you find a master tailor who is a designer, so committed to the quality of her work that she raises pet rabbits for their angora! Her creations are beautiful and yet so so wearable. And you don't have to have a fortune to look like one. And I know from first hand experience that she is a gifted teach. Like a said, a true find in the City.

Marjanne Motamedi 22 West 15 Street, Apt.6F New York, NY 10011 Email: [email protected] September 23, 2020 Dear Sir or Madam: My Name is Marjanne Motamedi. It gives me great satisfaction to write this letter of recommendation for Mrs. Nahid Hagigat. Let me go back in time…. My mother had a stroke at the age of 86 in 2016 One of her passion and hobby in life was to paint. After her stroke she was simply unable to remember how to even hold a brush. A friend of mine who knew of Mrs. Hagigat gave me her information. Few days later I had the pleasure to meet with her and she agreed to give few painting lessons to my mother. Four years later, here we are, my mother eagerly looks forward for her weekly lesson. She has painted over 100 paintings…… Mrs. Hagigat is an exceptional teacher. Her enthusiasm, passion and dedication for the craft of teaching is limitless. She engages and motivates her student(s). What she has accomplished with my mother is nothing short of a miracle. In conclusion, I recommend Mrs Hagigat without reservation. Respectfully submitted, Marjanne Motamedi
