My Clients Say

I signed up for Marlene’s Furniture Painting for Beginners. I do not consider myself artistic so I didn’t know what to expect. Marlene is very down to earth and she took her time to make it a very personal experience for all of us.

Instructions were easy to follow and she always connected with you through her own experiences.

The class was very enjoyable and you learn a lot about the tools, materials and paints.

I really appreciate Marlene’s ability to read the room and the participants. You don’t feel pressure to perform and or be creative. You do your own thing and she encourages you by showing different techniques and choices of color.

I would recommend this class to everyone. Marlene makes it a great journey!

Well done Marlene. Looking forward to future sessions.

This is where the conversation continues.

​

From time to time, I send a note from the studio — stories, reflections, and moments that don’t always fit on social media.
