Taking one-on-one art classes has been a remarkable experience. Sharmaine teaches with warmth and encouragement, and creates an environment where there are truly no mistakes, just opportunities to explore and grow. I love that I can bring a concept, whether from a photograph, a gallery visit or an Internet search and she always embraces it with an enthusiastic “yes” and shows up prepared to provide instruction. Her approach feels playful and grounded, and she makes it easy for beginners to venture into new territory. she also welcomes friends to join, which makes the session feel open and communal. Every session leaves me inspired, supported and more confident in my creative voice. Highly recommend.

I'm an avid attendee of the acrylic painting class over Zoom, which has been an excellent experience from the start. Sharmaine is incredibly patient and supportive, making it perfect for beginners. I really enjoy each session and have gained a lot of confidence with various techniques. Highly recommended for anyone looking to start their painting journey!
