Wondering if I'm the right teacher for you? Here's what some folks are saying:

"Tesia's technical knowledge of acrylic paint and the various gels and potents associated with modern paints is unsurpassed, so if there is an effect you wish to achieve, she's the girl to show you how. Also she has a deep understanding of the formal principles of painting and is able to guide you along your path with wisdom and understanding. I have learnt a great deal from her."

"... as a total beginner I was intimidated. Tesia provided the exercises, structure, encouragement and guidance to help me find my intrinsic style... One thing for sure, I learn something new from Tesia in every class. Tesia’s classes are fun, usually full (sign up early!) and a fantastic value."
