    If you like her pastels, you owe it to yourself to join her patreon. She is a superb instructor. Her pastels are beautiful, and she enjoys teaching and showing her students how they can develop their pastels. This is my 3rd year. Painting is a wonderful escape when the world is too much with us.

    Can't express how much I appreciate and enjoy your tutorials. The instructions are so understandable and your spontaneous use of the pastel medium is inspiring. I have a tendency to blend too much - this was perfect in teaching me to let the pastels do the work.

    Your teaching is superb, and pastels are magic. Now do you know a way of framing pastels without glass? Museum glass is expensive. Have any ideas . Much appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! Unfortunately I don't have experience framing pastels without glass. Spectrafix does make a product that is supposed to seal a painting but I have not tried it.
