I have been to a lot of art workshops over the past five years.  This one was the best. Joan is very bright, likeable, knowledgeable, surprisingly funny, encouraging and a fine artist.  She is flexible enough to present an approach and then be supportive if you end up going in quite a different direction.  Her demonstrations - with ongoing commentary as she works - are as good as they get.

My best,  Jeff



Thank you for the huge role you played in my wonderful and creative Kanuga experience.  When I describe it to friends, they tell me that I light up! You helped me breakdown barriers that had held me staring at blank paper for months.  All I have to do now is grab my bubble gum cig, my bottled beverage, a piece of charcoal, some drippy paint - and before you know it, I have an under-painting (pants) and inspiration for moving forward!

Your approach also helped bring our class together as community of sharing and inspiring artists.  So thanks to all of my fellow classmate artists too. I loved meeting everyone and hope you are all holding on to the energy we created together at Kanuga.

Joan,
Just wanted to tell you that I found last week's workshop most helpful-- in terms of both technique and motivation. Many thanks for your professional and inspirational approach to painting and your obvious interest in helping others to gain greater skill and creativity.

This was my first painting experience with you, and your enthusiasm, sense of fun, and play gave my mind, body, and spirit a much-needed jump start to begin painting again.  We all laughed and painted for 3 days; it was one of the best workshops I have attended. I highly recommend your teaching to anyone who wants to paint, learn, have fun, and loosen up.           ~Christine Wilkinson

Joan, I want you to know that your class greatly improved my painting confidence and I am learning to trust the process and keep pushing forward.
Thanks again.
 Artfully, Bev Sharrard

Joan teaches a wonderful class! She is a generous, thoughtful teacher and a fabulous artist who brings a great sense of humor and fun to the class. Would do it again in a minute!


“…Your workshop was a complete turn-on for me and I have continued to work in this way since then…I came back from that workshop at McDowell feeling renewed. That makes you a hero!"
                ~Marcia Moritz

Joan is a knowledgeable, vibrant, and caring instructor. She uses inventive techniques to teach both design and technical painting skills.

I arrived home packed with new working methods and was impatient to continue exploring. I recommend this workshop to anyone open to mixed media. You will embark on a great adventure!”
            ~ Win Ratz

I want you to know how inspired I was by your class, and feel that my work has changed dramatically just in these last few weeks. I now have a way to start my pieces, using your Miss Bossy Pants techniques, and it has made a profound difference. I am gradually making it my own, finding what order and techniques I seem to resonate with, and I feel so much freer and confident that something will emerge that I can work with.

Weeks prior to your class, I had just decided to take a self-imposed sabbatical for at least a year, freeing myself from being so focused on selling my work and painting what the world seemed to want. I needed to return to creating from that inspired place, which allows for whatever wants and needs to come forth freely and openly without limitations. Your class was a perfect way to kick off this time of exploration and experimentation. The timing of this class was in perfect alignment for me, and you were the perfect teacher.

Thank you so much. I look forward to attending another workshop with you down the road.
