Do it! Don’t wait. The experience of working alongside other students who are struggling with your same issues in such a supportive environment is very empowering….and very much worth the investment in time and dollars. This kind of work can make you feel vulnerable, and Gwen understands this. You will not only grow in skill and technique, you’ll be supported by Gwen’s true heart.

This is a safe place for the soul of the artist.

What a blessing and encouraging influence you have been in my life! I am so thankful as you have been a major reason I’ve kept painting! Thank you!

I’ve never thought of myself as “artistic”, but you opened up the world of possibilities for me. You are a teacher in the true sense of the word.

Thank you, Gwen

Thank you for your instruction, guidance, encouragement and inspiration during our week together. You gave us all the freedom to try new things and the permission to not be afraid of mistakes or failure.

I am so very grateful for your generous and thoughtful help.

The workshop was just what I needed to revive my creative spirit. As a teacher you have all the ingredients…warmth, knowledge, leadership and a way of nurturing individuals as they need it. You also have a great laugh.

Inspired by my grandson’s simple watercolor painting, I challenged myself to use his palette, and come up with a strong, simple, design. I think I drew, 5 thumbnails, then grabbed the largest gessoed canvas I had and went to work. I had my colors, big brushes, and I knew I had a strong design and it had a title…Finding Refuge… This painting came together in an hour!! It was crazy!… Thank you for helping me find my voice.

Decided to bring art back to the front about 5 years ago…I had reached a plateau and needed a boost…to launch in a good direction… I feel more confident, ok to screw things up and I feel much safer trying to be an artist.

I’ve spent the morning & much of yesterday reflecting on the amazing week I was so blessed to have with you. Your workshop experience completely blew me away! It was the safest place my artist spirit has ever been to. I took huge risks and learned to trust myself this week.

I’ve shown & sold my work in New York — and I have had much success in selling at other shows & galleries. I have collectors internationally, and I would consider myself somewhat established in my art career.

All this to say, I have come away from your workshop knowing that I am equipped to advance even more. Honestly, I kind of feel like saying “look out world…here I come!”

You are an inspiring and incredibly gifted teacher & artist. I’m so thankful that I found you.
