What Students Have to Say

"The plein air workshop in Southern France was wonderful! Her class and all the individual attention
I received really helped me develop my own style. If you love art, beautiful scenery, European history,
good food and wine, wonderful accommodations and service, you should definitely take this trip!
It was one of the most memorable and magical experiences I have ever had!"

"...My first class in oils was with Julie. Her class was everything I expected an art class to be. Julie is professional, knowledgeable and encouraging. She teaches classical principles and not just a style or technique.
Some artists can paint, some can teach, but Julie does both beautifully."
