Theresa Randolph, Educator
Peg Hilliard was a major influence in my life. She introduced me to many mediums and taught me many useful skills. She gave me a love for art. She never let anyone give up, always pushed them to finish the job. She inspired me to do art in the way I do now, and helped me pursue many of my dreams. Peg has a love for art, and has passed that love on to me.
Joshua Strong, Student
I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and have recommended it to several of my colleagues and friends. Thank you for being a phenomenal teacher and sharing your vast amount of wisdom and knowledge. I hope to see a “second level” drawing class (but where novices are still encouraged to join) or something of the sort! Drawing is for Everyone!
Dylan Wittstruck, Educator
I loved every second of this class. I looked forward to each week because I knew I would feel better after two hours of creativity and fun. I loved how you taught the relaxation method before starting each exercise. After taking this class, I am definitely going to purchase Brain Gym and research ways to help my students to connect their left and right brains. Thank you.
Angie Roberts, Educator
I feel I gained confidence in my skills drawing and being creative. I could barely draw a stick figure and I drew a tiger upside-down, which is really cool!
Chelsea Berthold, Educator
This class was so beyond what I expected in a really positive way. It is meshing with so many parts of my life. Being able to to come from a positive, relaxed position has helped me with a difficult year. These are fun activities for my students as well.

Peg was a wonderful teacher. She took time to really show us techniques and my drawings really improved. I recommend her class to anyone looking to improve their skills.
Laura Lawrence, Educator
Peg was a great teacher. I loved how I learned to relax while drawing and really just focus on one part of the picture at a time. It was nice learning about the brain and Brain Gym as well.
Educator
I appreciated your genuine calm and encouragement. I also loved the straightforward approach, taking the mystery and inspiration out of the equation and just draw! Just draw because it feels good to draw!
