Hear What My Students Have To Say
Susan Leppanen
I did 10 weeks of online digital art lessons with Tara. At the end of that time I had a completed artwork that was more complex and professional looking than I thought i would ever be capable of with my post menopausal brain. Learning with this remarkably talented woman has given me the confidence to try new art media with a spirit of adventure and a willingness to make mistakes because that's the best way to learn.
The only thing I would change if I had the time over is that I would take more notes to refer back to later.

My daughter has been working with Tara as a private art tutor for a few months now. I believe the lessons are a solid investment in Zoe's current happiness and long term resilience. The lessons challenge Zoe's creativity and extend her technical abilities. She enjoys the general conversations with Tara as she can provide a different perspective on life than Zoe's current environments of school and home.
Zoe enjoys the classes because Tara makes it easy for her to experiment with her chosen medium and teaches her how to incorporate different styles and textures.

Tara, you’re an incredible artist and the most amazing coach. I couldn’t recommend Tara highly enough to anyone looking for inspiration or help with their art. She not only started teaching me how to draw (I’m a master of stick figures), but also showed me how to make my drawings amazing using different mediums.
Tara has also helped my daughter improve her art and inspired her to grow into an amazing artist, nurturing her creative side in the most incredibly supportive way.
