My 13 year old absolutely loves Lesley and her art classes. She loves the individual attention she receives and the opportunity to follow her passions and create her own art, not being forced to follow a teacher’s plan.  I don’t know how Lesley manages to keep up with everyone’s individual projects but she seems to have it all in hand.  She inspires the students to always challenge themselves and do their very best, but respects everyone’s individual interests and talents.  Lesley’s classes are fun, interesting, student focused and worth every penny when I see how proud my daughter is of the art she has accomplished.  Thank you Lesley.

I cannot recommend Engaged in Art Classes enough. Both of my sons take the classes and can’t wait each week to go to their lesson. Lesley provides a safe, warm and creative atmosphere where the children are able to use a range of mediums to create works of their own choosing. Lesley gives students the freedom to direct their own projects whilst supporting them with lessons on the medium and how to bring a project from an idea to a completed piece using an art diary. If your child has any inclination towards art, I highly recommend you sign up for these classes.

You do wonders for my children. Last Monday they were not happy during the day and they walked out of your house so cheerful they giggled all the way home. It was tough work putting them to bed and both, Corne and I didn’t really want them to go sleep because they were so happy.

In the car they chirped about their paintings and what they did. It was a huge pleasure having them so ecstatic. Thank you Lesley.

I really wanted to share with you that your art classes really do change people – don’t give them up ever …

I sometimes don’t know who is more excited to learn and discover new creative avenues in Lesley’s art classes for kids, her or the children! Her diverse range of skills and her nurturing and inspiring way of teaching, keeps many children coming back to find out what’s next. Lesley is totally open to her students’ ideas and possibilities and then takes them to the next level. My son loves his art class and feels he has a trusted friend in his teacher. Lesley, you’re awesome.

My daughter Lan Fang started in Engaged in Art in 2013. She always looked forward to attending the classes and socialising with everyone there. Her skills have improved tremendously with Lesley’s help, in drawing, painting and sculpture. She enjoyed herself a lot in the classes, saying that the environment is pleasant and relaxing. – Lilly

Lesley is a very experienced and motivating teacher, and also a great friend. She is always happy to offer her encouragement and support. I felt comfortable talking to her, whether it’s hearing her advice or discussing other life issues. Lesley has been a major inspiration on my art journey and I wholly recommend her as a teacher. – Lan

We thank her so much for these years’ happy time!
