“I have been receiving art lessons from Casey for over 7 years and I can’t express how amazing he is, not just as a teacher but as a person. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of art. I have learned so much and continue learning with every lesson. With his expertise and support, I have not only exhibited in many shows and galleries but I have also sold many of my paintings.I would recommend getting art lessons from Casey to anyone interested in art!!”
“I have been taking lessons with Casey for about 3 years. Casey is a wonderful teacher. He has a very gentle way of teaching and encouraging a student to not be afraid to try things and therefore learn something new. I was basically a beginner painter and have learned so much from Casey about mixing colors, shadowing, using different brushes and brush strokes and much more! I highly recommend Casey to anyone interested in painting, on any level you are on.”
“Are you slightly interested in art? Thought about trying it out? Want to unplug from your phone for more than five minutes?
Then you definitely need to check out one of Casey’s painting classes. I’ve been attending for just under a year, and I can’t recommend it enough. Casey fosters an inclusive environment where, no matter your skill level or artistic style, you’ll feel supported and encouraged. By the end of each project, you’ll walk away with a piece you’re proud of. Honestly, I don’t know how he does it—he must have the patience of a saint, and his passion for art is contagious (not to mention, he’s an incredible painter!)
Along with his expert guidance, Casey shares insightful demos and introduces both historical and contemporary artists, helping you expand your artistic knowledge while you create. Time flies in his class—it’s truly a gem of an experience with an exceptional instructor. Thank you Casey and to the whole class, it’s one of my favorite days of the week 💛”
“I’ve been taking classes with Casey for over a year now, and he’s really one of the best teachers (of any subject) I’ve ever had. He has infinite patience and creates a space where painters of all levels can feel comfortable learning without judgment. He nudges you toward improving your skills while being encouraging and positive about your work. He always seems to know exactly how to help me get unstuck when I’m struggling with a painting. My painting and drawing skills have come a long way in the last year, thanks to Casey!”
“Taking classes with Casey has been such a rewarding experience. His instruction and guidance have helped me reignite my passion and excitement for creating art. He has an amazing ability to meet artists where they’re at, and bring out the best in their work. From the prompts and projects he guides the class through, to his impressive ability to provide feedback that is respectful, encouraging AND truly helps you grow as an artist, his classes are first rate. I look forward to learning and painting within a supportive group every week!”
