• 5/5 from Lara Jago, attended Jun 2023: This class was incredible! A fantastic combination of meditation to enhance energy and creative flow, painting from an intentional space, and art therapy to tie it all together into an unforgettable and multi-faceted experience. Dee was really friendly and approachable, with a passion to support people to know themselves. I left feeling energised, grounded and inspired to create more. Thank you Dee!
• 5/5 from Kristel Mae, attended Apr 2021: Dee has been so accommodating in making the schedule and the activity work out for us despite the venue being fully-booked. Loved her calm energy throughout the session. The venue had a warm and secluded vibe to it. It was a bonus that we didn't have to bring any materials, and that everything was provided for. Overall, the program was intimate and the pacing was good.
• 5/5 from Nicole Gustafson, attended Oct 2020: What an amazing experience! The teacher is calming, knowledgeable, and applies a good balance of structure and free flow to the class. She was wonderful to work with and very inspiring! High quality materials and left with not only a painting that I’m proud of, but insights and meaning behind parts of my life that hadn’t been explored in depth before. I highly recommended this class for artists at any level!
• 5/5 from Armen, attended Oct 2020: Deanne demonstrated ways of conducting teaching skills through this workshop. The venue was appropriate for size of classroom. I was impressed by the meditation during the class which led me to have an insight(s) through my painting which could lead me to rediscover my art talents! I look forward to workshops such as these as its' Value for money. Thanks Deanne.
• 5/5 from Alisa Koopelian, attended Oct 2020: The venue was pleasant with a relaxed atmosphere. I have not attended an art class like this before so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived I felt very welcomed and comfortable by Deanne (teacher). The class began with a guided meditation, which I found to help me gain clarity and rest. Afterwards Deanne instructed and guided the class in art creation, and throughout the class, she was genuinely interested in my experience
• 5/5 from Alex Lipp, attended Oct 2020: Deanne’s class was amazing! Her guided meditation was so special, I had a really clear message come up that really helped me with my art process. On my own, I struggle with what to paint, but with Deanne’s workshop, I’m able to really set everything else aside and get into the art.
• 5/5 from Lauren Harley, attended Oct 2020: Thanks Deanne for a fun and inspiring workshop! I loved reconnecting with my creative self and learning a new way of looking at my artwork. The guided meditation at the start really helped to calm my mind and it felt freeing to paint expressively with no end goal and just see what came out. Your clear explanations and guidance on the types of questions we can ask ourselves really helped me explore meaning in my work. I thoroughly recommend this class and hope to do it again soon!
• 5/5 from Alisa Koopelian, attended Oct 2020: Teacher was great, concise and dealt with the participants questions and responses. Insights was present.
• 5/5 from Sasha Lian, attended Oct 2020: Loved class! First class like this and it was really great for the soul. Thank you so much Deanne, can’t wait to do it again!
• 5/5 from Mira Nurdianti, attended Oct 2020: Love the workshop! Deanne took us on a guided meditation and it helped immensely in visualising what we needed for the next step of the class. She was soothing, and clear with her words. The artmaking was fun. I had trouble with making abstract art, but she was there throughout the process and helped reminded me on what not to do, etc. The art materials were abundant, nobody was lacking in any tools. Then the last part of the class, it was a tricky part, personally, but she went around and was fully THERE, being present and listening. This workshop is highly recommended. Understanding some parts about myself as it was revealed through my art. I thought I knew already, but there’s still more to learn about us that you’d never would’ve thought. In the end it wasn’t about whether or not your art is pretty if viewed by the public, but it’s about how the art means to you and it became personal and very important. It’s apart of you. I’m going to display it at home as a reminder. Thank you Deanne
