"I loved Rachel’s class and found it to be inspiring and helpful as I try to work through a bit of a creative and personal mind block. There was a good mix of time spent looking at the work of selected women abstract artists followed by well-led practical exercises that could be completed during class or worked on further. Your interest and enthusiasm was clear through all five weeks of the class and I wish there were more!” - Janine

"I thought that the class was the perfect balance—lots of interesting information about fascinating artists (most of whom were new to me), plus plenty of time to try out the new techniques ourselves. Rachel, you were an excellent guide, and your enthusiastic knowledge of art history put things in perspective and encouraged interesting discussion.” - Andie Pilot (Geneva)

"This class was great! It made me relive my younger high school days! I would love to continue with 'next steps' or 'drawing 2'. Definitely made me look forward to Monday evenings. Rachel's demeanor is great! Her feedback and inclusiveness made it a comfortable environment."

"This course is a great intro to drawing. I really appreciate the focus on the right brain orientations and learning to be in a more receptive and curious state. The warm-up exercises were often fun and novel which helped with getting out of a left brain analytical state.[I particularly enjoyed] The warm-up exercises and the collegial atmosphere of sharing our successes and challenges with other classmates."
