Student Testimonials

  • Michaela is an excellent artist and teacher! I highly recommend her courses! She does a wonderful job of explaining the basics of theory and technique to lay a solid foundation for success. She’s very passionate, knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. An overall wonderful experience I looked forward to every week, and I look forward to taking more of her courses!

    Jessica (Oil Painting 1 & 2)

  • Michaela is a fantastic teacher and helped me grow my confidence in painting with oils. Before attending her class I was always intimidated by oil painting, it seemed so difficult and time consuming. Michaela taught me many great techniques to simplify the process, which resulted in me in actually being able to finish several oil paintings. She teaches in a very logical and process oriented way. I highly recommend her classes.

    Natalie (Oil Painting 1 & 2)

  • Michaela's introduction to oil painting was a joy. I am returning to oils after years and wanted a refresher course. I have learned to think about colors and mixing in new ways. I'm looking forward to the next round of classes! Thank you. Michaela!
