"Karen is a great artist with a gift of inspiring her pupils to explore their individual talents and develop creativity through painting. The class groups are small enough to encourage mutual support and discussion, which is rewarding - especially if anyone needs encouragement!"
"At our recent exhibition visitors commented how varied is the work coming out of the group - all a high standard - but varied in style. this is as a result of how Karen teaches."
"On joining twice recently, I found a welcoming and collaberative gathering in light and spacious surroundings. Demos and Karen's enthusiasm and her individual attention was very inspiring for beginners through to the more experienced."
