"I would like to thank you SO much for the lovely drawing of our RUFUS, He is so life like that it is like having him back with us. The detail that you were able to capture in his face, with his whiskers on the side of his face and the lines in his forehead were absolutely amazing. His Eyes are so bright and life like. He is always looking at us with a cheeky look. You are simply amazing with the time and patience you put into our little man..."

Wendy LelliottBrisbane, Australia

"I attended Jenny’s class for two terms and enjoyed the challenges. It definitely set out what it proved to be and I benefited from it."

Heather HallidayNew Zealand

"I found Jenny as a tutor very generous with her vast knowledge. Her encouragement enabled me to approach my artwork with more confidence while teaching me the skills I needed to progress. Classes are fun and rewarding and I will be returning to learn more advanced techniques with her in the future. "

Lesley RawlingsNew Zealand

"Drawing classes with Jenny have been a way to enhance and extend my art practice. I enjoyed that she offered the exploration of drawing in many different ways using a good range of artist models. Jenny’s drawing classes were a way to develop drawing skills but also to explore ideas with a range of media and techniques. I enjoyed used some of the drawings and extended them into printmaking."

Liz HawkerNew Zealand

"Jenny is an inspiring tutor who taught us a variety of drawing skills and styles which we explored and used in our art works. In a comfortable environment, Jenny motivated us to apply our skills and ‘think outside the box’ as we moved on to more complex compositions."

Carol SaxbyNew Zealand
