Your online lessons bring joy to those of us who otherwise would not be able even to know who you are and learn from you and the joy & happiness you bring to so many of us. Eileen Revere

"Birgit, although I have watched your ArtistNetwork, this is my first time taking one of your live classes. I have to say, your live class was phenomenal! Your step-by-step teaching style is a perfect fit for me. I look forward to taking more live classes from you in the coming year. Thank you for providing such valuable and fun courses," Cheryl Walrath-Duran

"I’ve taken many of Birgit’s classes and can honestly say they’ve made retirement the best part of my life to date - and I’ve had a great life. I’m a total amateur but the learning process is so rewarding and fun it doesn’t matter. Birgit’s the best!" - Ally Keppel
"Your teaching methods are so powerful, and your courses have enabled me to see almost everything in a very different way than I did "pre-Birgit"! Thank you so much for opening up my mind and helping me to make my paintbrushes work for me in a way they never did before. I will definitely be taking advantage of learning more from you whenever I can." Thank you" - Gloria Andison
