These lessons are fun, inspiring, casual and yet offer genuine insight into art techniques, skills and strategies that professional artists use every day.

“Art is not only an escape or form of expression but it can be just pure fun. It is individual – it can be as serious or as frivolous as you want to make it. The connection that is made between the person and the art created can be very profound in its lasting effects. At my age, I have seen so much rejection – experienced it myself and watched it in my colleagues and friends. Yet, opening my studio to others so that we ALL may experience success is just a no-brainer. Whether you are 6 years old or 86 – everyone deserves to know that they have accomplished something.. You can get lost in the art and feel uplifted and engrossed in something powerful and moving. It is a great escape from the bombardment of today’s crime, costs of living and other stresses.” Susan Adler George
