(Quotes below will scroll through…)
“Doris has the ability to inspire all levels of painters.” – SJ
“Thank you Doris, for your time and support. I enjoy our class and find our time the highlight of the week. We are all very fortunate to have you in our lives. Your humor, artistic gift, time and feedback are so important. It provides a feeling of constancy in our ever changing world. – BM”
“Painting outdoors with Doris has taken me to a different place in my brain than where I spend most of my time. It is fun to revision, to see things in a new way.” – LB
“I started working with Doris via zoom last November and am a beginning painter of watercolor. Doris meets everyone at their level and provides encouraging comments to make the painter feel valued, as well as to push the painter to new heights using this medium. As a full-time caregiver to my husband who is suffering from a stroke, I do not have a lot of time to paint. However, despite that, Doris’ classes have given me a yearning to paint and improve my artistic skills. I have discovered that painting gives me great joy and solace. I have also discovered that watercolor painting is absolutely the best medium! “- DY
