“Art is not a thing; it is a way”
“Upon discovering The ArtWay Studio I was drawn into a community of like-minded creative artists searching for a rewarding way to practice art. The positive support and genuine interest in my development as an artist has given me great self- empowerment. I’m able to approach art making now with enthusiasm, curiosity and confidence. Denna’s unique flair for inspiring and pushing us to achieve more than we expect of ourselves is truly a gift. I shall forever be grateful for joining this wonderful artist’s haven.”
