What They’re Saying About My Classes

It truly is my honor and privilege to carry Bob’s legacy on as a Certified Ross Instructor. I’m grateful for every opportunity. Hope to see you in a workshop soon!

The class was just terrific, and everyone loved the experience. I think each of my fellow painters were also incredibly pleased with their results, adding to a fun, memorable evening. All my best to you as you continue to share the joy of painting.
