It's been a pleasure to know Mel as a teacher, an artist and a friend. Mel's art reached me in a profound way that no other has. Not every artist is a good teacher, but Mel's experience and natural skill with children guide them into expressing themselves in a way that draws out who they are as artists and people.

My child loves art with Mel. It’s been such a positive outlet and has helped him open up in ways I didn’t expect. I couldn’t ask for a better [art teacher]!

Mel is inately talented and creative when it comes to working with our special needs child. They took the time to learn his interests and incorporate his likes into art lessons, which helps keep him motivated. He looks forward to Mel's weekly visits and we love getting to see the art they create together after each session.
