The most inspiring hours of my week are spent at verysmallstudio. And the rest of the week is spent feeling nourished by that time.

Elizabeth's classes are a continuous journey of learning and achievement. She knows exactly how to challenge and support each student that arrives at her lovely, welcoming space for art, tea and great conversation. Elizabeth is a gifted teacher. I had never drawn before I took her class and it changed my life!   
- Kathryn Macdonald


I was hooked after the first class. It was less about my lack of ability and more about feeling confident in Elizabeth’s ability to teach. Her gentle manner is coupled with a keen ability to adapt to the particular needs of the student in the moment. She is an exacting practitioner who creates a non-threatening environment conducive to learning coupled with lots of interesting conversation and tea! Thank you, Elizabeth.

I feel that Elizabeth is an incredibly generous teacher.

A warm and sparkling person, and a great teacher, she gives her students attention and encouragement, all with expertise, sensitivity and good humour. I love going to her studio. I highly recommend her classes.

As a novice to botanical drawing and watercolour, I have thoroughly enjoyed the welcoming and nurturing atmosphere at the studio. Elizabeth is a thoughtful and perceptive instructor with a profound artistic knowledge and ability.
