Siri is an exquisite artist and teacher. With an ease, spontaneity and undeterred passion for drawing and painting, she demonstrates techniques with a variety of intriguing art materials in such an encouraging way that I feel liberated from self-criticism. Under her guidance, I often find myself drawing and painting at my best, and always yearning for more instruction!

Siri is a WONDERFUL art teacher. She provides sound instruction with different media - pastels, graphite, charcoal, ink, watercolor, in a warm, supportive environment. I can’t even begin to enumerate everything I’ve learned, and it is stress-free and always fun.

Through the years I have taken art lessons from several teachers - probably enough lessons to qualify me as a judge of art teaching quality. If I were to rate my experience with Siri’s teaching on a 10 point scale I would give her a rating of 10 plus. The plus is for the fact that when you work with Siri you discover your creative spark as you learn the fundamentals.

Not only is Siri an amazing artist, but she is a wonderful teacher too. She is unfailingly patient, helpful and encouraging. Her studio classes were always interesting and informative and now, her zoom sessions work well, too. There’s always an interesting and easy-to-follow demo and the fun of working with a variety of materials. Thank you Siri!

Siri is a great teacher - supportive, encouraging, creative and very helpful. She can teach in many different mediums and is wonderful with adults as well as children. There is never any pressure. I have learned an enormous amount from my classes with her.

My daughter and I both took art lessons with Siri. My daughter was a very active 3rd grader when she started. Siri showed the most patience, and the art that my daughter showed me just got better and better. A very close bond was formed, I saw the enthusiasm and happiness in each other. My daughter stayed with Siri until she entered an art academy. I must admit we both enjoyed going to Siri’s studio. After my daughter’s time I decided to try art. It took me a very long time to get the courage to put pencil in hand and do it. But Siri was always encouraging me. She is great and had patience the whole time with this oldster. There is no teacher that can compete with her in my eyes. Give her a try and you will find out for yourself.
