I took a painting class with Kate and had the best time! I learned some really important painting skills and am so excited to keep painting. Kate is a gifted teacher who has a wonderful space to learn in and I have already signed up for more classes with her. Thank you, Kate!
This was my first time taking an art class, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the experience. Kate is a gifted teacher who makes the art of drawing feel approachable and rewarding. Her teaching techniques simplified concepts like perspective, light and shadow, and negative and positive space in a way that truly clicked. Most importantly, she taught us how to see what she sees—something that changed how I look at the world around me. Her studio was such a warm and inviting space. Each session felt like a retreat from the noise and distractions of daily life. It was peaceful, inspiring, and the perfect environment to explore creativity. I’m so grateful for this experience and for Kate’s kind, insightful guidance. I highly recommend her classes to anyone curious about drawing or looking to reconnect with their artistic side.
I always wanted to try my hand at painting and was happy to find Kate’s classes. I started with 3 day beginner workshops and with Kate’s guidance, I was thrilled with what I was able to accomplish! Kate is such a wonderful, skillful teacher and I love the easy-going, relaxed vibe of her classes. Highly recommend trying her courses if you want to develop your artistic skills, even at beginner levels.
Kate is an excellent teacher! Her classes are so inspiring and do not intimidate even a beginner artist. I learned so much and gained so much confidence in mixing colours, learning shading and the basics of how we visualize our projects prior to starting out. Wonderful group of students and Kate provides everything for the classes and advises economical tips for getting started at home. Her teaching environment is super. Roomy, inspiring and lots of parking! I will take another course guaranteed, an excellent value for the cost. Thanks Kate!!
I've taken several painting and drawing classes with Kate, and thoroughly enjoyed each one! Not only is she an immensely talented artist, she is also a natural and very engaging teacher. Her presentation of the course material and her demonstrations are invaluable and fun! The atmosphere in her studio is always relaxed and encouraging. I would highly recommend Kate's classes to anyone interested in expressing themselves through art, beginners and experienced painters alike.
