Audrey B.

12 Painting lessons

Contemporary art and artists seem to skip over the basics. Frances helped me learn incredible techniques - simple and complex - that vastly improved my painting in only a few months! She knows an endless amount and will never hesitate to help you. If you email her with a question expect a bizarrely prompt essay in reply (in a good way). She is so detailed and careful with communicating her teachings.
JoAnn H.

44 Painting lessons

I am an art student with very little knowledge of technique. Maureen's patient and informative teaching style has given me the confidence to truly enjoy drawing as I learn to work with crayon, chalk and charcoal in preparation to ultimately begin painting. She is very professional and talented and I have learned a great deal from her in a very short time. Our lessons are very enjoyable. My lessons have been very rewarding as I experience progress with each lesson.
Stuart H.

25 Painting lessons

I came to Frances knowing nothing about painting. I was also very apprehensive about whether or not I could be taught how to paint. After our first lesson I not only realized I could learn how to paint but with Frances’s guidance I could also expand my mind in ways I dared not consider. Frances is such a unique teacher. Aside from being a brilliant painter, she has an impressive resume of experience and knowledge in many fields.
