What families say

“We signed up my son, 8 years old, for 6 lessons of drawing instruction with Beth, and not only did he have a great time, but he also really improved his drawing skills. He continues to use those skills and techniques to explore new subject matter and is very excited and proud of his work. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Beth; she is a gem!” — Berkeley mom, summer, 2025
