Testimonials
Michele Jarvis - Florida, USA
Muchas Gracias Barbara for sharing your beautiful Earth-honoring art style and technique. The entire 5 day class was so much fun - clay "hunting", the delicious picnics. time spent getting to see other areas of Costa Rica and getting to know you and Otto, to applying the clay to the canvas, learning the techniques to create unique 'looks' for every area of the painting and then applying the sand.
While applying your teachings to the canvas I also had the opportunity to face some long buried emotions, transform them & ultimately end up with a beautiful piece of art. I also remembered how much I truly love to paint & create and have promised myself to honor my long buried talents and dreams.
Everyone who has seen my painting is stunned that it was all accomplished with clay and sand. I am looking forward to creating more Clay paintings now that I am back home. The blank canvas has been ordered!
I so appreciate you sharing your studio space, wisdom, gifts, and mostly for giving & teaching from your heart. I look forward to our next trip and spending more time creating together.
Much Love
