The Drawing Lab is the place that made me feel comfortable with a pencil, charcoal, even paint! Whether her student is 2 or 82, Deb cares deeply and encourages with wisdom and love.

It was amazing to watch teenagers become absorbed in the act of drawing, you could see they were reminded that they "knew" how to draw!

David Ingenthron, Professional Art Teacher

Although I like to draw, Deb is taking us into new territory. For me it was a bit scary too because I've never done anything like this or certainly not the way Deb is teaching it. So I ca relate a little bit for being scared.

One thing I can tell you is that Deb and the group have been really supportive. So since there is no right or wrong or no mistakes, and this is a safe judgement free zone, I hope we are able to offer encouragement to help you get started.

Deb’s work is restorative and energizing. She helps us dig deep to express whatever we wish, appreciating everyone’s capacity to express themselves and to appreciate a more sensuous world. Although hugely talented herself, that is not what she reaches for in us. It is the sheer joy of connecting- to ourselves, each other, and our world however, we experience it. Give Drawing Lab a try, it will lift your spirits!

Fran Godine, Drawing Lab Course Student

I feel that my drawings in this course are the culmination of all that I have learned about marks, freedom and observation in this class... much more exciting to me than the cows-- combining process with thought, vision and some sense of outcome. A small miracle in my life. Thanks Deb for this transformational course!
