”Sharon’s warmth and energy are infectious. She is patient, encouraging and nurturing throughout the entire process. Heading into this workshop with no prior training or experience in creating my own artwork could have been unnerving, but with Sharon’s expertly guided instruction I was able to produce an incredibly beautiful aesthetic piece which will probably hang in my home forever more. I have been truly inspired! “– Sarah E
“I have attended many art courses but found this one the most enjoyable and the most educational of all. I learnt how to paint primarily using my intuition rather than my logical/structured mind. This enabled me to be free with my art and to relax into it and create amazing art. You are a gifted art teacher and I can’t wait to do another art workshop with you Sharon. Well worth my investment.” – Grace P
