I had such a great experience learning from Delores during a 3 month Art Business class. She has an incredible depth of knowledge when it comes to design and marketing art, and she shares it in a way that's both approachable and inspiring. What really stood out to me was how patient and kind she was with everyone, especially those of us just starting out in the art business world. She made even the most complicated topics feel manageable and always took the time to answer questions thoughtfully. It was clear she genuinely wanted each of us to succeed. Delores creates a space where you feel supported and encouraged to grow, no matter where you're starting from. If you're looking for someone who knows the ins and outs of marketing and design and is an amazing teacher, I can't recommend her enough!

I just want to take a few minutes to express my profound gratitude for Delores, for this Art School and for all of you!First of all, Delores, you have become my favourite teacher and I find your classes have been working best for me in developing the kind of artwork I wish to create. I love how personal and warm your feedback is. Not only are you a wonderful artist and teacher, but you are an amazing person!Next, this community is so supportive! My mother was a gifted artist and when I was young, I frustrated myself because I expected my artwork to be as good as hers, not giving myself any slack for just being a kid with no training. My mom encouraged (and framed) nearly everything I did, but I always felt inadequate in comparison to her amazing talent. I focussed on music instead and did a lot of songwriting, and singing. I still love music, but I have fallen in love with art, especial now that I can do it so easily without creating a mess to clean up. When I post my artistic attempts, I am greeted with so much enthusiasm and encouragement that I am overcome with joy. It is so incredibly wonderful to be able to share my pieces with people who can appreciate them and who are, themselves, talented and admired by me.I also love to look at and ruminate upon the work posted by others. The range of creativity and the gorgeous artwork is a feast for my beauty-loving eyes. I love that we celebrate each others' accomplishments with heartfelt enthusiasm.So, everyone, thank-you from the bottom of my heart and soul for sharing yourselves so generously through your artwork, and for helping me feel validated as an artist. You are all wonderful!

I wanted to express my appreciation for all your help in mastering Procreate. You are such a wonderful, patient and encouraging teacher. I just can't say enough about what a great teacher you are. All those decades keeping teenagers focused on fun ways of learning software - has given you a very special touch- and I am so very glad you are teaching us adult learners now. Since discovering your classes, I have just learned so very much more about procreate. It has helped me to take my artwork to new levels. I feel your help has really been the impetus I needed to put some artwork out into the world. Especially motivating for me since every completed class ends with a finished project - these below are some that have made it onto my greeting cards. Your knowledge of the industry, and constant gentle prodding to put things on mockups and get them up for sale, is really the reason I now have 186 greeting cards on POD - and I am happy to say that this year I have sold 577 cards so far this year. Thank you so much - for sharing your skillful teaching with all of us.
