I had the honor of coordinating with Claire, an employee here, a girls craft day. We had a two hour class Sunday Sept, 25th and it was so fun.

Also since Christmas is just around the corner there are several nifty gift ideas here so stop by and shop local.

He's one of the best teachers in Dallas, but personally I think he's best all around in America! All of the foundational and essential skills I've learned through painting and figure drawing has still been profound and applicable in my working life now as an adult, working at my dream creative job today 14 years later. He makes learning art interactive and fun, and he taught me not only technical skills, but how I should approach my work in a thoughtful, conceptual, and meaningful way, which is a must for college and in the working industry today. Mr. Steve helped me get into my dream school, and now I'm working and fulfilling my job as a Senior Designer in New York. I'm so grateful for having known him throughout my life and continue to meet with him when I visit Dallas, as I wouldn't be where I am today without him. I highly recommend taking his class and taking a chance to learn from a great artist. Dallas is lucky to have him!
