"Elaine was able to take me from a person sitting before a blank canvas to a woman who saw herself as an artist! I created a beautiful seascape that gives me such a feeling of pride. Thank you, Elaine for bringing out such talent in me – yes, Me!
I still can’t believe it!"
- Jane Meade
“Elaine Allen is the teacher I have been looking to find for years. I have taken several classes over the years but with Elaine I feel a real sense of accomplishment and growth in my art. I would usually throw away the pieces I made in classes. But with Elaine’s classes I have finished works I am proud of. She has a knack for really inspiring her students to create. I would recommend any class you can take with Elaine. She has impressed me in a variety of mediums. She has even helped me impress myself! T
hank you Ms. Allen. Please keep doing what you do.”
