Caroline is an inspiring teacher. She helped me understand how to make a decent painting, and then improve on it. The process is fascinating and never boring. I am delighted to be working with her.

Carolyn is an exceptional teacher. She teaches you how to break down a painting or a scene, so that is not too daunting. Her knowledge of the programs she is teaching is amazing and she is very inventive with the cirriculum. We really enjoy studying with her.

Caroline has an amazing rapport with her students, both young and old. As a teacher she always treats her students with the highest of respect and in return, her students try their best and enjoy learning!
Personally she is a great inspiration to me and has been invaluable in furthering my art skills and knowledge.

Caroline is an inspirational instructor. She can take a person of little or no art experience, a person with minimal tech expertise and have them creating art on an I-pad in a few lessons. Because of her extensive traditional art background she also teaches fundamentals of color, line, composition, etc. No worries if you do not know Monet from Manet or how to download an app, Caroline will teach you

Caroline is my iPad instructor. Through her very creative uses of the iPad and enthusiastic teaching, she has propelled my art forward to the point that I feel I've advanced and painted more successfully than I ever have in my life. Caroline believes in using the iPad for art. She also believes in her students, and she conveys this with honesty and sincerity, as well as helpful critiques. I am happier working on my art than I have ever been, thanks to Caroline's classes. I feel that I am growing as an artist...faster than I would have ever thought possible,
