Any artist can teach skills to kids, but it takes a special person to connect, inspire, support, and love their students while teaching those skills. We’re blessed that we found Katie, because she IS that special person who takes art classes to highest level! My daughter’s artistic growth over the past 4 years with Katie has been remarkable, but the best part of all has been having her as a beautiful role model & mentor. -- Suzanna
Katie is a fantastic teacher and I highly recommend her! Katie is great at building not only skill, but self-confidence in her students. My two teens adore her and learned more than I had expected they would. One of my kids proclaimed herself as "not an artist," but under Katie's tutelage came to see herself capable of creativity. She now spontaneously sits down and paints! -- Emily
Katie is the greatest art teacher that one could ask for. My eight year old daughter loves art and took lessons with Katie for a year and a half until they sadly moved away. My daughter can be very shy and particular about the people she opens up to. In fact, we initially started lessons with another teacher and she cried and never wanted to go back. My daughter was immediately comfortable with Katie and 100% herself around Katie. She looked forward to lessons each week and often asked to stay longer. My daughter learned so much in the time that she took lessons with her. While she was already a naturally talented artist, her artwork improved immensely after she started lessons. We grew to love Katie and her entire family very much. They are sorely missed! -- Anna
I did lessons with Mrs. Katie for a year and a half and she was the best art teacher I could ever ask for. I learned so much and improved very quickly and I couldn't be more happy and thankful to be one of her students. I miss her dearly and hope she has the best life in Arizona! --Sonia
Katie taught 4 of our kids and we are very pleased with her instruction. I was pleasantly surprised at how purposeful and methodical her teaching was, yet still lots of fun. I highly recommend her as do my kids. Wednesday art class is one of their favorite weekly activities. -- The Talbott family
