Testimonials

A wonderful course! Help and inspiration when needed. I appreciated helpful suggestions together with the freedom to incorporate my own ideas.

Rita is an inspirational teacher and a fine artist. She has taught me so much in a gentle but outstanding way. I am immensely grateful to her and enjoy art in a way I have not previously experienced.

I have been going to Rita’s artistic workshops for quite a number of years and as well as spending a few creative hours a week, using different mediums, learning new techniques as well as breaking the occasional artistic rule, it has proved to be a wonderful haven for our small group, somewhere where an ambience of calm and laughter replaces the hassles of every day life.

Interesting to learn new techniques and be enabled to create something different.

Thoroughly enjoyed the two days! Very absorbing, fun and an education in different media.

Art sessions with Rita are uplifting and enlightening! She creates a lovely ambiance within which to paint and offers good advice and direction when needed. I have returned to art after some years and am lucky enough to have found the perfect teacher.

Thoroughly enjoyed the two-day workshop in Devon. Very absorbing, fun and an education in different media.

Rita’s art workshops are a wonderful creative journey using colour, texture and imagination in a relaxed and interesting ambience. Always uplifting with new ideas to discover and try, her classes provide a tremendous focus for artistic adventure. Thank you Rita!
