“After years of artistic hibernation, it was pure delight to be reminded how rewarding it is to explore the power of drawing. I felt rejuvenated and utterly satisfied after my time with marvellous Meg. I’ll be back for more!”
— Jen, Hobart
These workshops have been just what I was looking for in exploring my creativity. Meg has helped me develop the confidence and skills to start oil painting. I am so proud of the beginner work I’ve done in her studio. I also feel like I am getting some real education about art and colour. Always lovely people there - some experienced artists as well as beginners. I highly recommend Meg’s teaching style and vibrant studio.
— Angela, Hobart
Meg's class was a gorgeous balance of experimentation, discovery, laughs and new skills. Meg is a down to earth vibrant teacher and inspired me to launch into further studies in Art Therapy. Definitely looking out for the next workshop!
