Testimonials

I have always known I have a creative part to me which I have used in my work life, but it feels like a hidden talent has emerged – one that I did not even realise I had!

Wow Cindy! You absolutely have a talent for helping people learn to draw, to believe in themselves, to see things differently, to learn and to create. I speak from first-hand experience. You have given me the gift of drawing and I continue to be amazed at what I have created.

One of the main things that I have noticed with your course is that if you are to work through it methodically and carefully, taking it just one little step at a time, you will be successful.

During our time together I’ve gained alot of confidence with my Art as well as in general. With your guidance I have found joy and peace in creating, which has given me a way to deal with life’s stresses in a totally new way.

Without your support and mentoring, I might have given up. I never thought I’d reach this level of drawing ability at all. I thought I would improve, but I never thought I could create the drawings that I have produced.

Under no circumstances did I feel that I could learn to draw. When I started picking up a pencil again to draw something for the first time in almost 40 years since art class in school, I was at a loss and didn't want to ruin the beautiful paper. Cindy quickly helped...

Joining Cindy far exceeded my expectations. When I first began with Cindy, I knew I had found the place I needed to be because I had already read Cindy’s book “Paint in your Pyjamas” and was dumb-founded that no one had every taught me to draw in this manner. It seemed so logical and easy.

I never believed I could learn to draw. It wasn’t until I created the exercise from your course of a self portrait and that it actually looked like me that my confidence soared.

My mentored journey started right before the most trying period of my life began, when both of my parents passed away. Drawing was one of the few things that helped me bear the weight of that devastating event; it provided the quite gradual healing, and your...

The most significant change you've helped me experience has been to gain confidence in my ability to learn and to remain steadfast in my studies. When I first began this mentorship, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I have been involved in art classes with various...

There are many changes that you have helped me with. I feel the most significant change that you have helped me with, Cindy, is to have faith and belief in myself and know that with a little assistance from you and effort on my part, that I can achieve my goal.

After studying your course, there was a significant change especially in my attitude to what I am able to learn and achieve, despite my age (now 65).

Cindy is a truly rare and remarkable educator. She works with each student on a deeply personal level, seeing far beyond technique and truly understanding the person behind the drawings—even when that person lives on the other side of the world.

I have always wanted to learn how to draw and I bought a lot of drawing books and hoped it would lead me in the right direction. But the information I got was lacking some really important bits and I almost gave up cause I didn't really understood what I was...

This is how I feel about my created works. Exhilaration, more confident than I ever was, though still trying to slow my impatience down and do things correctly. But most importantly, if you can remember (I don't suppose you will, as you have so many people to look...
