Client Testimonials
Clare has been a fabulous teacher, guide and coach for me. She shares her creative passion and deep understanding of the technical aspects of art as well as supporting and encouraging her students to have fun, experiment, and work with different media and techniques all while gently building our confidence. She creates dialogue within the class and adjusts the program to meet our needs and objectives. My progress has amazed me. I would never have imagined friends and family describing me as an artist.

Returning to art after retirement was challenging. But I feel like confidence is returning since taking up classes with Clare!
Clare is so incredibly helpful to each person in her class. She shares her technical wisdom and creative ideas generously. I feel as if I’m constantly learning really important skills that I never gained in other art classes I attended in previous years, either because classes were too big or there just wasn’t a focus on some of the fundamentals of using colour, blending, shadowing, building etc. As an amateur or hobbyist without formal art education and being in my 70s I felt like I could never make up that basic grounding.

My passion for art and interest in the process is now resurfacing. Time at the classes is super enjoyable, fun, light hearted and a special time to just be present in the ‘now’! Thanks Clare. Looking forward to what next class will bring!
