REVIEWS

• 'Taking MichKa classes has exposed Alison to new ideas, styles and techniques she has enthusiastically incorporated into what she does outside of the studio. With this increased vocabulary for self-expression, she has more self-confidence.' ~ Carolyn Hissen, mother of Alison, 11
• 'Avery has really grown as an artist and a person while taking these art classes. She has become so confident in her artistic and creative abilities and it seems to overflow into everyday life as well.' ~ Kerry Vaughan, mother of Avery, 8
