“I really enjoyed changing up my artwork with Brenna. Her ideas to try new techniques by learning how other artists did their art helped me to explore my own creativity. I loved my results.”

— Sheryl Somers

“Over the last couple of years, I have taken classes with Brenna both in-person and online. Her teaching style is very engaging and I have appreciated her insightful and sensitive observations. Brenna’s years of experience are evident in the way she is able to identify and explore different styles of painting and varied subject material as she leads her students through their own individual art “journeys”.”

“I had such a great experience with my online classes with Brenna, she is very knowledgeable, creative and inspiring. I really enjoyed my one on one time with her.”

“Brenna is a highly supportive teacher and I see my work improving greatly as a result of her mentoring. Taking online classes with Brenna means I am painting a lot more than I would otherwise, and she is always able to help me when I get “stuck”. I am learning both painting techniques and the process of working through the “problem solving” of painting. With one-on-one classes I am able to talk through my work and what to do next with Brenna which elevates my painting to the next level. I look forward to my weekly classes very much and highly recommend them.”

"Brenna was a wonderful instructor for a beginning painter like myself. She was always positive and encouraging, finding things for me to be proud of in every piece and helping me to see my own progress as her instruction took hold. I would highly recommend Brenna to anyone new to art."

— Natalie Swain

“It has been a pleasure and also a great learning experience being mentored by Brenna George. Brenna has a deep knowledge of painting and filmmaking. She helped me create a framework to pursue my goals, which has included daily painting, learning to paint in the style of interesting painters, creating my own website, using social media to my advantage, and applying for grants and exhibitions. She is kind and positive but also a straight shooter and holds me to my goals. Highly recommended.”

“I loved Brenna’s classes, I signed up for multiple different classes after the first one. It was great to work with a group and Brenna gave everyone information suited to what they needed, I was able to try oil painting for the first time in the class.

Brenna’s color palettes are vibrant and unique and subject matter is full of character. Brenna teaches you to explore the narrative of the painting and the personalities of the subjects, along with lots of technical information and tips. Brenna facilitated great discussion in the class groups between people with all different experience and working in different mediums. “

“Brenna brought me an infusion of both joy and inspiration during Covid lockdown. Because Brenna has such an open and sweet spirit her class is a safe space to experiment and build new ways of seeing and doing. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy taking on-line art classes, but Brenna is consistently well-prepared and ensures interaction between class members. I appreciate her humour and approach to art, so taking classes with her was important to me but also fun and freeing. I value Brenna's kindness, encouragement and work-ethic, and I thank Brenna for helping me develop a daily art-making routine. I'd suggest to anyone - grab a spot in Brenna's class - once they're filled you've missed out.”
