What Students are Saying ...

Lynn

Sharon is an amazing, exceptional art teacher who understands her student's skills. She provides clear communication and techniques to improve my concepts of drawing and painting while having fun. She's a great listener and inspires me to develop my creativity and technique for my unique style.  Can't wait for my next class..

Debora

I really appreciate Sharon's philosophy of lifelong learning.  She made me aware that drawing, the study and practice of art (and even learning the online technology associated with the class) can improve brain connections, and certainly adds great satisfaction to life. Thanks to this class, I have been inspired and motivated to start a regular Drawing practice.`

Lori

Sharon is an outstanding instructor. As a person who is a complete novice when it comes to drawing, I felt comfortable with Sharon‘s guidance and feedback on my drawings. Her demonstrations are very clear. When a technique presents a challenge for me, Sharon offers multiple ways for me to improve my skill. I highly recommend Sharon as an instructor!
