What People Are Saying

"I was fortunate enough to spend a day at Nancy’s studio for an abstract art workshop. As a completely novice artist, I was nervous but warmly welcomed by Nancy and the other participants. The workshop was excellent and Nancy walked us through the techniques and provided guidance on colours - i was delighted to walk out of the day with three pieces of art I would happily hang on my wall. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who is interested in learning art techniques and meeting wonderful people."

"I want to give a shout out to Nancy Joyce. She is not only a fantastic artist she is a great instructor. I have taken a number of her classes. They have all been very educational, expanding my knowledge about art and different techniques. She always is supportive of everyone’s creative self and is able to teach all skill levels. Her classes move along and before you know it the day is over. The food she serves at her classes is high quality and the best! If you want to expand your knowledge of abstract art and have a great time doing it sign up for one of her many classes."
