Going to art classes each Thursday with Jen Danskine is the highlight of my week! I look forward to the welcoming, non-judgemental creative space. The atmosphere is relaxed and there is a new and fun project to look forward to each week. Jen is a highly skilled and fantastic teacher who highlights everyone’s varying abilities. We get to experiment with a variety of mediums and are encouraged to work outside our comfort zones. Thursday art classes and the additional paint and sip classes that I attend are my happy place. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Do yourself a favour and check them out.

Jen facilitated an art class for our small business as a team building exercise for our staff. It was so much fun - the subject was “self portraits”. Jen was so professional, lots of fun and really helpful. This was a super special night for us - I highly recommend!

Art therapy with Jen helps me relax and recharge my batteries each week. It’s my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Jen helped us to create our Soulful Art program. This was as a 10-week program for our preschool children (aged 3-5 years). It was designed to support and nurture these children to recognise and understand their emotions, through a weekly creative art experience. Jen quickly became a much -loved member of our community and the children embraced this weekly art experience. We watched a transformation take place where our children became confident artists. Their creativity and self-expression shone through as the children were able to share with us their thinking and feelings, helping us to support their emotional wellbeing. This program honoured children’s thinking, and it has fostered a love for art. Thank you.

I started art with Jen to simply try something outside of my comfort zone, but what I didn’t realise was just how much of an amazing time and experience it would become for me. Both personally and connecting with a beautiful tribe of women. As we draw and paint on our paper our stories become woven both in our brush work and in sharing our stories. Jen has a very special gift. Of course, Jen is an amazing teacher but she’s so much more than that… I come away with my cup so full and my heart so happy. You’ll be so glad you chose Jens classes; a simply beautiful human with boundless talent and spirit!
