Students rave about her patience, skill, and encouraging teaching methods, so even newer or more anxious artists will feel comfortable in her classroom.
Mrs. Wells hosts open paint sessions in her studio open to anyone. Check her website or social media to keep tabs on upcoming opportunities. These classes may focus on acrylic painting, or branch out into other media, such as faux stained glass work or pottery.
