Summary:
I have a genuine interest in learning to paint - and enjoying the process. I took a morning abstract painting class with Andrea. She is welcoming, knowledgable and talented. Andrea produces great art and can help you do the same. Her teaching background allows her to be prescriptive but patient and leaves plenty of room for personal exploration. When I am in the Santa Fe area again I plan to take additional classes with her. If you are looking to learn techniques and have a great experience take a class with Andrea.

Summary:
This is a very well-organized and well-taught class in abstract art. Although one probably does have an advantage if he has a little art background, I had very little background in any kind of art and still learned a lot and enjoyed myself.
The instructor, Andrea, who has a background as both an educator and a professional artist, was very friendly, energetic, and helpful to all students, regardless of their level of art experience.
This was an excellent vacation for my wife and me, 4 days of non-stop abstract art instruction and collegiality with other amateur art students. The location of the retreat in Santa Fe also helped; it is a beautiful city with many good restaurants and centrally located hotels. The art retreat was held at Andrea's house, further south from the city center, but it was an easy drive in light traffic. Parking at her house was not a problem.

Summary:
I took the 2 hr abstract painting class with my daughter (11 years old) and we had so much fun and learned so much about how to improve our painting and explore new styles and materials. Such a valuable and joyful experience! Thank you Andrea, you are an incredibly gifted teacher!
