Summary: Angelina was an amazing teacher. Learning how to paint the piece we did had a lot of detail but she walked us through step by step. We had a fun conversation in the process. It was a lot of fun! I wish we lived closer so we could take more classes on a regular basis.

Summary: We just had a two hour private art class for my granddaughter. and it was just the very best thing we have done in Samta Fe! The art teacher was Natachee Momaday Gray! We were so fortunate to have this incredibly talented, creative teacher who is also a published poet, and the granddaughter of Scott Momaday, first native author to win the coveted Pulitzer Prize .My granddaughter learned so much, and fell in love with her own creativity. I highly recommend Santa Fe Art Classes and Natachee for an unforgettable, creative, and confidence building experience!
