“You won’t find many teachers who are as generous with their knowledge, and as supportive of any skill level in art as Heather Neilson. Her engagement with and dedication to her students will stay with you with long after you walk out of either her workshops or her longer classes . Go online or go to her studio classes, both venues are playful and stress- free as well as filled with good art concepts.” - Tricia

Heather’s nature is very positive and supportive that each student in her class feels”seen” and in turn is supportive of one another! Wonderful teacher- I could take this class many times over and learn and grow each time!” - Laura

“Excellent teacher! I took a ten week Zoom class with Heather and would highly recommend any class she was teaching. Her subject and background knowledge of the class she taught was extraordinary. She introduced us to a wide variety of techniques and mediums and guided us through using them in a very professional, yet personal and non-judgmental way. I throughly enjoyed this class and it provided me with new ways of approaching and looking at my work.” - Jane
