Skye is really sensitive to the ways that I can expand and grow. She builds on my strengths and pushes me with drawing assignments that get me out of my headspace.
Alec H.

1 Drawing lesson

I went into this tutoring session with no experience in the fine arts at all. Jennifer proved to be very knowledgeable on the subject matter. She answered all my questions and had great drawing exercises for me to do when I arrived. She was enthusiastic in helping me improve my drawing skill, genuinely interested in my goals as an artist, and realistic about how to reach them.

Thomas is tutoring my 14 year old son in art, (drawing), and my son was wildly inspired after his first session with Thomas. He's been drawing immediately after school each day, and excited about the homework that Thomas gave him. I was very impressed with Thomas and how he encouraged and inspired my son and is supporting his strengths while motivating him to stretch beyond his current capabilities. Thank you Thomas.
