The owner is very courteous and professional. The place is classy, homey with gorgeous paintings on every wall. Very impressive because all the paintings are done by their true artists. It's a comfy environment that doesn't make you feel like you've got to be delicate or careful or even neat as there's paint all over the work tables, easels, and even the carpets. The staff know you walk in nervous about your non-artistic "talents" and your worry of ruining the canvas, but they quickly ease your mind and reassure you that it's easy, anyone can do it, and it's going to be fun, and you're going to do your own thing but with a little guidance and a whole lot of friendly encouragement.

Cindy, our artist, was awesome, fun, funny, friendly and helpful and she didn't make me feel like a non-painter. She made me feel like I could be myself and my painting would turn out fine and...it did!!! So pretty it was and I was amazed and surprised that I could paint something so beautiful! Who knew? Especially someone like me who got a C in elective art class in college for my abstract painting of a table topped with objects like apple, vase, cow skull, etc. I got a complex from that art instructor in college. But Cindy saved me from my complex and now I can have pleasant memories of painting on a canvas.

My aunt and my Mom, both deceased, were talented painters but I can't even draw a straight line. I know my Mom was looking down on me smiling and proud of me and I love my painting and so proud of my creation that I would gladly give it to her with all my love if she were here, just like the painting she did for me for my 17th birthday. Cindy, I thank you for this, for helping me find this pride in myself and and leaving me with this warm feeling of inspiration and belief in myself.

WOW……you REALLY DO touch lives through your art. Thank you, Cindy!
