Testimonials

The workshop gave me clarity about what being an artist IN the world means, the work and responsibility which goes with it, confirmation about the essential role of marketing.  It stimulated me greatly in how to assess and re-assess why I paint, what it means, and reminding me that all it requires is taking small steps, one by one. Liesel Naude, Artist
