Anita is a wonderful tutor, calm, friendly, professional, highly organised, and dedicated to ensuring each individual student received the attention they needed, responding to the level each of us was at, and being led by the student's own practices and ways of seeing. She has exceptional skills as an artist and a teacher, and it was a privilege to be on her course.

Anita was an excellent tutor, her knowledge of the coast helped make the experience even more special. She was approachable and had a good sense of humour. She differentiated and set targets appropriate to the individual. Her own artist work was inspiring. I feel I left the course ready to embark on my own artistic journey. Thank you.
