Testimonials
Denise has nurtured my love for art and has helped me see the potential of my talents.This has greatly changed the way I view my art and how it can be applied to and enrich my life. She has helped me see everything differently. I am so fortunate to have found her and to have had the opportunity to learn so much from her. ~ Teresa, Bartlett, IL
Learning to draw and paint with Denise has been an exceptional experience. She’s helped me tap into and develop nascent skills I was unaware of – and the result has been startling. I’ve found myself totally immersed while creating the art. I’m so pleased this has become a part of my life – it’s very fulfilling. ~ Jonathan, Schaumburg, IL.
I enjoyed learning how to draw again. Starting out with drawing a collie was great and I enjoyed every minute of it. She knows what she is doing and shared much to help me become more artistic. Her years of experience are evident as she makes it look so easy. ~ Janice, Wayne, IL
The Top 7 Reasons to Make Living Creatively a Priority:
1) Taking time for creativity is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. Regularly pushing yourself outside your comfort zone stimulates your brain to develop new ways of thinking and brings joy and imagination into all areas of
your life.
2) According to Newsweek Magazine, a recent IBM poll of 1,500 CEOs identified creativity as the No. 1 “leadership competency” of the future.
3) In her book "Drawing with Children, Laurie Meyers concluded, "Students do better in math and reading when given the opportunity to learn how to draw."
4) In this time of rapid change, studies show that creative people adapt more easily and are more able to stay in the flow of life despite uncertainty.
5) In an opinion poll by Strategy One, a global research firm, 82% of Americans feel that we are not living up to our creative potential as a nation.
6) That same study showed that 62% of Americans believe that creativity is being stifled by our educational system, and there is no concerted effort to nurture the creativity of all students.
7) Engaging in creativity can combat depression and the mental aging process. It can increase your powers of observation, spontaneity, and give you a bigger perspective of your day to day life.
