Check out what parents and teachers have said about my courses:

“My son and I are LOVING your course. He has some difficulty with spatial awareness, which can make handwork of all types frustrating for him. This is enjoyable for him while also developing more strength in his hands.

He’s also much happier to paint something from nature now, and we’re only a few lessons in. The simple techniques definitely build confidence :)

It’s also renewing my love for painting, which I haven’t done for about twenty years. Thank you for making your videos so easy to fit into a school day. It allows us to enjoy more of the variety the Charlotte Mason Methods aim for.”

“I just have to say I was looking for art courses for myself and children, and kept feeling disappointed with what we were finding and paying for. A friend mentioned your courses and we are choosing you. I was looking through a lot of your social media highlights last night and I just felt at home. Just saying thank you for doing what you’re doing for children and homeschool families.”

“I've just begun teaching my niece and nephew, both of whom have Autism and ADHD. My niece is 9 and very much a perfectionist. She has been very staunch about hating to paint so I wasn't sure how brush drawing lessons would go. We've been using your program, and from the second lesson on she has been incredibly proud of her work and signs it every day. Thank you so much for your program! It is so gentle and helpful for my neuro-divergent students.”
