DRAWING IN INK
Perhaps earlier years as a writer and poet nurtured my love and fascination with ink. Black lines curving and twisting their paths across a white page to 'say something' never ceases to be anything but magical. |

"I have always wanted to take art classes but didn't know where to begin. With Elaine's encouragement and teaching expertise I quickly learned many basic drawing techniques that had me hooked from my first lesson. Elaine's professionalism, natural artistic talent, and love of teaching are gifts that she eagerly shares with her students and I highly recommend her." N.J. MacRae
"I have drawn in pencil and ink all my life, and despite numerous art courses over the years, I hadn't found what I needed in order to fully explore colour, and have confidence in my own artistic expression. Since working with Elaine I have been inspired, challenged, introduced to tools and resources, as well as to techniques and new mediums which have expanded my personal creative adventure in a very exciting way. I appreciate her astute eye for seeing what will add to a piece and what is in the way, which has enhanced my own ability to see."

"Elaine, with her patience and her experience, very gently unlocked the creativity inside of me, encouraged me to overcome fears and resistances, guided me to more spontaneity, and most importantly helped me to find the 'joy' to express myself through creating. Thanks a lot, Elaine!" E. Blanchard
"Sometimes we need a bit of guidance and Elaine comes across as someone who is trustworthy and supportive. After having one meeting with her I felt quite at ease, listened to and confident that my artwork is supported and directed." C. Evans
