"Chris, thank you SO much for sharing not only your knowledge, but your passion, enthusiasm, supplies and positive input. Taking your workshop was an amazing experience where it was obvious everyone in it learned a lot and left excited for more. I have felt looser and more experimental in my own art since. I will definitely be taking more of your workshops in the future! Thank you, thank you!"

"Christine this lesson was beautiful. Your skillful teaching guided the process with wonderful presence - I found myself attentive to where I was in the creative moment... checking myself if I got to 'thinking ahead' or anticipating where the lessons were 'going'. Thank you for sharing your creative process in a meaningful (and mindful way). I love the way this little book feels in my hands💙". ~Kimberly M.

"The classes I have taken from Chris were all very inspirational. What really impressed me was the one-on-one attention Chris provided to students who requested her input. I also loved seeing the different techniques she included as she introduced the classes……..and then Chris encouraged all of us to start creating in our own style.
I will be taking more of her classes and I can’t wait".
