Skye is a remarkable teacher and I can’t recommend her highly enough! I began lessons with Skye when I was feeling very lost about my career and my artistic pursuits. Skye prepared incredible lessons that directed and supported my technical development but also infused me with confidence and courage in my artistic expression. This renewed conviction that she helped to cultivate, propelled me to take risks creatively and pursue dreams that I never thought I could.

Diana encourages kids to express their ideas, create characters and stories of them through art. I believe this is very helpful for improving their abstract thinking and expression skill. Although my children's English is poor, they had no trouble communicating with Diana, and their language skills improved as an extra benefit. We highly recommend her.
