“Excellent Class. Learned so much! Liz is a wonderful teacher, positive, encouraging, but with honest feedback, and a delightful sense of humor. She gave the class many insights as well as personal stories about her journey as artist. She offered specific suggestions on how to tweak our paintings, while emphasizing exploration, process, and play. Also ideas and tips on what to do when you get frustrated or need to re-set. Liz created a supportive classroom network, where beginners and seasoned artists felt safe sharing their works on the message board.” — Wendy, ME
