“I was in attendance for your webinar last night and I very much enjoyed it. I learned more in those two hours of nonstop, pertinent information than I had in a similar 5-week course that I took in June. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and vast experience with those of us who are entering the art world at such a tumultuous time.” - Stacey Gregory
