She was so informative on what her services were, was flexible when I changed my mind on the canvas sizing and it was easy to send her payments as well! My goodness-the TALENT she has is insane! She came to the venue early to start painting the background and then during our reception she started putting us in the painting. Our guests were able to walk by and see her at work and they were speechless. The finished product even had out pups incorporated in it and us and the dogs all look like it is a photo! It is so real looking! She had the painting completed before the end of the night and she even traveled to our reception location to give it to us! She went above and beyond to bring something that was left at our venue as well! Truly an amazing woman! We do not live close so having the painting done and ready for us to take home the same day was such a great thing! She's truly talented and so worth every penny! 100% recommend!

My office suite mates are very happy we get to keep them all (Alex got anxious and couldn't bear having the colorful work disappear from our walls -- he looked bereft when he heard there was a chance they would be coming down and being sold to other people). Now that we are adding another office, we probably need a couple more of Susan's works for the new wall space too. Susan, thank you again for brightening up our work and meeting and client waiting areas. We are all glad for your generous gift of letting us have them up for the past year. I'm also glad you allowed us to buy them, to help my colleagues, our clients and me all keep in good spirits for the next several years. -Mike Kron MD

Nancy is FANTASTIC! I met her when she was the instructor for many paint nights in Galt. I loved…read moreher so much that I followed her to a few more in Lodi. Everything is set up for the participants, plenty of space to work, and an all-around FUN time. She is full of energy and life! She explains each step and let's everyone know creativity and fun are the goals for the evening. Her pacing is excellent. She walks around with a head microphone to address the entire group and meet everyone's individual needs. She does all this while smiling and creating the most relaxed environment. Nothing is rushed and her positivity is inspiring. Again, I loved her so much that I purchased one of her original art works that I proudly display in my home today.

I wasn't super thrilled at the idea but it sounded like I'd have fun because there was alcohol involved. Now I can say I have 6 different pieces hanging around my house that I am proud to say that I painted, thanks to Judy! Brush and Cork is not your typical "wine and paint night" where you get drunk and come home with a painting you may or may not like. Judy has the image sketched out on the canvas in pencil, so you are following along with her like a paint by number. She teaches you every step of the way, and makes sure that everyone goes home with something they love. I love that the canvases are pre drawn, because even if you don't feel like you have artistic talent you can bring home something beautiful. Other paint nights that I have gone to with a blank canvas just aren't as fun... I feel more stressed and like I'm wasting my money. Besides the fact that she makes it easy to kickback and have a fun night with your friends, Judy is a wonderful teacher. She takes her time, and goes at the pace of the class instead of just blasting through everything to make sure the class is over by 9. She wants everyone to succeed, and you can tell she isn't just following a "trend" and making it all about the money. She is a fantastic artist, and a great teacher. I've now moved over an hour away, and I still make the drive up to do paintings with my mother in law and sister in law, Judy is worth the drive. :)

I love your teaching, your music selection, and you! Thank you so much!
