"The best critiques I remember having!" -- Karen S., Berkeley, CA
"Thank you for the positive experience I encountered concerning our dialogue as you critiqued my work. You were extraordinarily helpful and encouraging in both your overall assessment of my art and your suggestions for further development. Your pointed solutions to technical and aesthetic problems regarding the individual pieces were what I needed." —Joan K., Chicago, IL
"Your critiques were great — obviously a strong point for you. Comments very helpful, not just making generalist comments like one usually hears. Seeing everyone elses work I was able to learn and get ideas." Chris P., Vancouver, Canada
"Her critiques were particularly strong. She is able to talk about process, where one’s strengths are and give leads to new approaches. She encouraged me to broaden my style and I think it will have lasting consequences."—MaryAnne. P., Evanston, Illinois
