Featured review

Skye is the real deal. She is everything she says on her description and more!

Lessons were very well tailored to your goals - she is wonderful to work with, and incredibly knowledgable. I’m currently finishing my Bachelor’s degree in an unrelated field, but wanted to apply at the Master’s level for Visual Art. However, I had no training; and was very overwhelmed by applications until I started working with Skye. She was able to break the goal down into a well organized and manageable process. Our lessons helped me create my portfolio from the beginning to the end, allowing me to form my ideas, and then develop them into a cohesive body of work. We began working in the summer for January applications, and had around 11 sessions in total over 6 months. I was able to apply to 8 masters programs. Skye also helped a great deal with the artist’s statement, which was really crucial. My portfolio definitely would not have looked the way it does now had it not been for Skye’s mentorship. She is very good at guiding her students while allowing them to expand on their own creative ideas. I am still awaiting responses, but so far I have been accepted to my top choice New York Academy of Art, and recently I received notification that I've been shortlisted for an interview at Ruskin School of Art at Oxford! Thank you Skye!!

Knowledgeable, patient, and helpful

Skye is really a gem teacher! She is kind, helpful, and knowledgeable in art. She really shows her care through listening and offering constructive suggestions to my essay.

Art teacher who sees ME

Skye was amazing. She was able to look at my artwork and immediately have a sense of my strengths, my challenges and suggestions on what to work on. It’s only the next day and I already see improvement in my artwork and at least now I know what I need to work on and what I need to research. I was lost in how to improve and she just was able to see it within the first 30 seconds. Besides being such a lovely person she really knows her stuff big-time. So grateful I found her

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Skye was very helpful helping my son generate ideas for his college portfolios and leading him through observational and perspective drawing exercises that he could use. She has a depth of knowledge about art and art history that was beneficial to my son, for sure. Thank you, Skye!

Awesome teacher

Skype is a great teacher. I have found her to be patient, a good listener, and methodical. We have only had a few lessons thus far, but I can already see progress and my confidence is growing.

Extremely helpful and compassionate

My twelve-year-old daughter who loves drawing has been greatly helped by Skye G as my daughter learns to draw portraits. Not only has has Skye provided coaching in shading of solids and proportions of faces in portraits, but Skye has incorporated art history, building on previous lessons and learning to use symbols in backgrounds. My daughter loves what she's learning with Skye.

5 star review for Skye G

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. She became a mentor for me, as she offered wisdom and guidance every step of the way as I explored and worked on my new creative ventures and was met with various challenges. Her vast knowledge and extensive experience was so beneficial in my process as she provided key recommendations and approaches in finding solutions. Her lessons were a wonderful mix of art history, art theory and composition, enticing projects and incredible mentorship. It was a true blessing to have had Skye as my teacher. Thank you for your help! Lucia
