“I was a complete beginner when I began Katharine’s classes, something completely outside my comfort zone. Through her skillful instruction I have now learned how to draw and paint... a very empowering experience. It gives me great enjoyment and I always feel good about whatever I have completed, whether in class or on my own. Thank-you so much Katharine for bringing such a big new positive to my life!”
