She was incredibly helpful, patient, detailed, and flexible with such a large group. What I loved most was how she was able to collaborate with all 12 of us and still make the experience feel personal. Everyone felt included, supported, and able to be creative in their own way. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into what she does. Our team had the BEST time, and I would absolutely recommend this experience for a team outing, celebration, or just a fun day together. We will definitely be back!

She was super encouraging and had ways of helping those of us who don't get the chance to paint very often create something we could be proud of. Even the very-beginners did art we would be happy to show to off others. Some of us enjoyed the process so much we didn't want to leave and stayed as long as we could. I would love to take one of her regular classes!

We started at NCMAC with piano and voice classes for my children and myself, with Ms. Georgianna…read more It is rare to find a teacher like her-- not only is she passionate about teaching piano and encouraging her pupils to make the most of their potential, she makes it so much fun that we look forward all week to our classes! What I appreciate most of all is that she genuinely has our best interests at heart and we learn in the right way, and in a manner best suited to our individual personality and ability. I also believe that Ms. Mary and Ms. Trisha, who run NCMAC have a similar philosophy where the children and their interests are at the center of all their decisions. Recitals at NCMAC are about doing your very best, but finding true pleasure in it, and that's how they run NCMAC too. Genuinely thrilled to have found this place and these teachers!

She is very diverse and comfortable with a variety of media. She is extremely flexible and ready to switch the lesson plan to whatever the kids are in the mood for that day. She draws/paints on her canvas/paper to demonstrate to the kids and at the end of the lesson we come out with an art piece made by each kid and one of the master (which serves as a good template/example of what can be achieved with practice). I have not seen such growth and improvement in a variety of medium in such a short time. The kids are excited to go for the class and come back wanting to do more at home. I will highly recommend her! We also had Shelley do an Art lesson at my 7 year old's birthday party. It was a super success. Shelley got all the supplies and directed about 12 kids through a acrylic-canvas lesson. Some of the kids has never used acrylic but were so excited to see their finished work. I got lots of compliments from their parents and felt great about thinking of organizing a painting party!

We did the private session, so it was just us and Shubhs, and she made sure we were both comfortable to be ourselves and to maintain a positive attitude. We started off with writing positive affirmations for the painting session, and then we got to choose what we wanted to paint from the many examples she had on the wall. She was super flexible in what we wanted to paint, and even let us paint something that was not one of the examples. During the painting process, she sat with us and taught us step by step what to do to create a beautiful, and well blended painting. Throughout the whole process she was very patient and encouraging, which was so lovely as a beginner painter. She offered snacks and music changes, which made the experience even more personal.
