“You have done an amazing thing with these classes and created a community of artists around the world during a worldwide pandemic.”

I am excited to watch today's new video and have not yet reached out to thank you.

You have done an amazing thing with these classes and created a community of artists around the world during a worldwide pandemic.

I hope you realize what fabulous work you have done and feel very very accomplished! It can't have been easy and I'm sure is incredibly time consuming. WOW, My hat goes off to you!

I am watching the line up of woodpeckers at the birdfeeders and imagine you in green Ireland! You should feel very very proud of this huge accomplishment. Wishing you a happy, healthy New Year ahead and joy in your life.

Thank you again and again.

“My head is exploding with ideas to pursue as I search for my true artistic voice -- I cannot wait to get into my studio whenever I can.”

I love this community as well and thanks Lora Murphy for putting all this together AND for all the wonderful instructors for sharing their ideas AND to all the creative participants for bringing their explorations to the group. I knew the encaustic world was vast and full of possibilities but did not really realize just how much... my head is exploding with ideas to pursue as I search for my true artistic voice -- I cannot wait to get into my studio whenever I can.

“This is without a doubt the best investment I have ever made in my learning adventure in art.”

Oh my gosh, just 3 lessons in and I am overwhelmed with the things I am learning from the smallest detail like heating your brush to the lovely effects with layering from Wayne Montecalvo. I can't express how lucky I feel to be able to access this wealth learning opportunities.

“You are so right, this is an investment for life, I can't say how glad I am to be here!”

It actually still smells of beeswax and roasted coffee from my last experiments on my deck (I just had to make collage papers with coffee stains after watching Wayne Montecalvo's class the other day)
