Students Comments--

Cindy is a very patient and encouraging teacher.  I liked that she didn't push her ideas on me, but gently guided, gave her opinion when asked, and always had something encouraging to say.  I came away with several good techniques that hopefully will make me a better painter.  I really enjoyed getting to know her.  Gigi Moisan

 

I showed it (my painting) to my family at Christmas even though it is not finished. I think they were surprised that the painting was as good as it is -- "just a good teacher"! ~Elizabeth T.

 

Cindy, Thanks so much! You helped me to be bolder in my painting and what I will attempt. ~Terri Derhake
