My niece and I went to a day workshop in January and we had such a great experience. Pam was amazing and she gave us instructions on how to paint. My niece enjoyed it so much and I was very happy with my art piece as well. Definitely, I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves art and wants to enjoy a great time!

My brother and I did a watercolour workshop with Pamela. I am a total beginner, and she was very patient, helpful and kind. We both made beautiful pieces that we can't wait to hang at home. Such a lovely way to spend a morning.

Pamela is not only an amazing artist but also a wonderful teacher from whom I have learned a lot in Watercolour painting. In the past year of in-person and online classes (mostly) with Pamela, she has helped me transition over from Acrylic to Watercolour painting on art my journey. Her classes are always inspiring because she shares fresh insights and skills with us. She is one of the best art teachers I have come across. Most impressively, she is so generous to share her knowledge and experience on details that are vital to creating a good painting or not - such as colour-mixing, values, amount of water relative to pigments, light-and-shadow and creative brushstrokes! Yes, I'm thankful to be in Pamela's classes and enjoy the light-hearted moments we have even during intense painting periods, because she is such a warm (and funny) person. During our painting reviews, she is understanding of individualized styles, yet also gives helpful and specific suggestions for improvements. One can't go wrong with being in her class - it's motivating and enjoyable. Thank you, Pamela for helping me enjoy watercolour painting; and I frequently look forward to "what's next?" from week to week!

I was gifted a painting class with Pamela and it was a lovely experience! Pamela is passionate and it comes through in both her art and her instruction. She was helpful, kind, and encouraging. She is also very eco-conscious with her art! It was a fun couple of hours and I left with a fantastic painting.

I had the absolute pleasure of spending four weeks learning from Pamela and I cannot recommend her enough. As a total beginner, I came in with very little knowledge and a lot of hesitation, but she made me feel both comfortable and inspired from the very first class. She has such a natural gift for teaching breaking down colors, techniques, and fundamentals in a way that feels approachable and fun. What I appreciated most was how she encouraged me to trust my own creativity. With her guidance, I not only learned practical skills, but I also discovered confidence and joy in expressing myself through art.
