Testimonials:
Hey Patti,
I just wanted to let you and the other art teachers at Tis Annex know that Indie has been deep diving back into art ever since the fall art class started again! And this isn’t just some version of another’s art but truly her own style and expression. What you all share with her including and not limited to your master skills, unique styles, confidence, beauty, and boundless creativity have made such a huge difference in Indie’s life and how she views the world. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!
Aloha,
Ashley Rutherford
Dear Miss Patti, Miss Melody, and Miss Jan,
We are ecstatic that we got invited to art class again!!! 
We miss you…we miss making art………we miss making art with you.
Virtual class was really great last time, and we learned a lot of cool new techniques. We can’t wait to see what the projects are. Thank you!
See you soon,
Mabel and Ruby!
