"Not all of us are fortunate or blessed to indulge ourselves in the rewarding hobby of painting. Painting has given me more pleasure and satisfaction than I can remember for a long time. When I first started to paint it was like pulling up the blind and looking out the window. I could see shadows in the form of trees. I was looking at flowers differently, the form and texture and colouring made me feel very humble, that nature was so much better than us. Also I took more interest in the old masters and went to the Art Gallery. Generally it opened another world for me and then the other artists I met and the comradery and rapport I enjoyed was like we were joined by a bond.
I've only had two teachers and I'm glad I met Rachel for her expertise and teaching improves everyone. Not only is Rachel a talented teacher in every medium but it's when you doubt yourself and your ability that she is at her best. Just talking to her and her sense, compassion and wisdom restores your self-esteem. I couldn't imagine a student not enjoying Rachel's class, the studio is great, the lighting, as well as the ease which emanates from the atmosphere."
