Judy at The Paint Box is an amazingly talented and vibrant artist who truly knows how to connect with her students. Our daughter absolutely loves attending her weekly classes and looks forward to them every single week. From watercolor and acrylics to oil pastels, she introduces her students to a wide range of techniques and mediums, helping them discover their own artistic voices. What really stands out is her ability to make every child feel confident and proud of their work -- she doesn't just teach how to paint or draw; she inspires them to think and create like real artists! Her studio is warm, welcoming, and full of creative energy. You can tell she genuinely cares about nurturing each student's individual style and imagination. We've seen our daughter's skills -- and her love of art -- blossom in ways we never expected. If you're looking for an art teacher who combines extraordinary talent with kindness, patience, and inspiration, look no further. She's truly a gift to our community! read more

We can't say enough great things about Judy Cohen and the Paint Box! Our daughter absolutely loves her art classes -- it's honestly one of the highlights of her week. [Teacher's Name] is such a talented artist, but what really makes her special is how patient, kind, and encouraging she is with the kids. She introduces them to all kinds of art styles and mixed media projects, and somehow manages to make each class both fun and meaningful. Our daughter has learned so much -- not just about technique, but about confidence and creativity too. She always comes home proud of what she's made (and usually covered in a little paint -- which we love!). If you're looking for an art teacher who truly connects with kids and inspires them to express themselves, Judy is amazing. We feel so lucky to have found her! read more

She truly does an outstanding job! read more

We had the Paint Box hold a painting party for our teen group several times this summer. The events were always well put together, the instructions were easy to follow, and the vibe was super positive and encouraging.  Judy did an amazing job keeping everyone engaged and excited, and really helped the teens feel confident about their artwork. The kids had a blast painting, chatting, and showing off their creations at the end. It was so nice to see the kids laughing, being creative, and proud of what they made! I'd definitely recommend the Paint Box for any teen or child group -- birthdays, youth events, or just a fun get-together. read more

We have worked with Judy for the last 5 years in multiple settings - over zoom during Covid, privately at friends homes with a group of kids, in our private school where she teaches enrichment classes ... no matter the setting the results are the same - she is patient, hands on, and the kids leave with masterpieces we never knew they were capable of. I couldn't recommend her more!! read more
