Testimonials from past workshop participants:
“What I loved? Everything! Eri, you are not only a talented and gifted painter, but also a patient, inspiring, and encouraging teacher! I learned so much in a natural, unrushed, supportive and creative environment! Couldn’t have painted my doggie painting without you. Nothing I wished I could have done! Thank you so much for everything. Now I am an even bigger fan!”
“First of all, a big thank you. You are enthusiastic and supportive, but also willing to challenge our biases and usual ways of doing and seeing”.
“I really enjoyed the class. You are an excellent teacher. You give excellent feedback to each painter suggesting what one might do to take the next step forward. Always helpful, always encouraging”.
“Your class is brilliant. I felt more alive after your class than I have all year. I also liked that while you guide, you don’t rule. You encourage individual expression and achievement”.
