"A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence ends”
- Henry Adams

Who knows where Vanessa’s influence ends? From the first lesson, Vanessa took the time to get to know me, understand how I was motivated and most importantly, find out what I wanted to get from my time at the school. Vanessa is incredibly open minded and this allows her to consider each pupil on their own merits and she encourages everyone to follow their own path. With Vanessa, there is no temptation to adopt a particular style. As an artist she is inspiring and as a teacher she is completely dedicated to people fulfilling their artistic ambitions. During the course I developed my technical ability and grew enormously in confidence. I would recommend Vanessa’s classes to artists of all levels, she will find a way to challenge and motivate you to achieve your goals.

She was extremely knowledgeable and creative and has great skill in directing the individual to obtain their goal. I would thoroughly recommend her classes and workshops to any prospective student."
