"Working with Becky for over a year was pure joy! Her instruction was focused, clear and easy for children (and adults) to understand. I never enjoyed fine art grade equally a child/teenager, simply being in Becky's course changed all that - she is a true teacher. Children admittedly love her and I was able to watch their passion for art grow exponentially!
