“Judy provides valuable input as I am creating my paintings. She is a mentor who is very encouraging and helpful where ever the participant is at. In addition, she provides thoughtful information about the creation of art, methods and other artists to open our minds to the creative process. I would recommend enrolling in Judy’s class to all.” (winter, 2026)

Her feedback, enthusiasm and gentle nudges to keep going when we’re stuck keep us expanding and growing and it’s a true joy. Her class is one of my favourite days of the week!”
