THE INSPIRATION
Vera took her painting to a new level
Nancy, you are full of life and have a deep understanding of the “other.” You are a fantastic teacher. Your lessons are so intelligently put together! You not only provided invaluable information, you opened doors to a new level in painting and led us through with your encouragement & belief that we can do it. You made it possible for us to venture in new territory & helped us through it!
~ Vera V. Tchikovani, San Francisco, CA, Artist’s Journey® Course Alumna
Teresa has experienced a turning point in her art
“The Artist’s Journey” after 50 years of painting, was the turning point in my work, I have never felt such enthusiasm with my work.Thank you Nancy for your truly enlightening words and videos, every artist whether debutante or established should know about your teachings.
~ Teresa Pisani
Chrissy now understands the path to her best work
Nancy gives the gift of soul work with intuitive abstract art, moving through fear and into the present moment with joyful experimentation. I now understand the path to my best work, to be able to paint with an expressive aliveness, and am deeply grateful for Nancy’s genuine care and individual attention. The content is presented sincerely and simply, and is deeply motivating.
~ Christine Scurr
Betty found her own style
Not only did I learn about the fundamentals of creating abstract art, but I learned them in a way that was deeper and easy to understand. The weekly lesons, videos, and assignments helped me hone in on techniques through practice. The FB form was an amazing group of supportive artists and Nancy’s feedback, guidance, and support were invaluable. It’s been the best online course I have taken and completed!
