Here are some early reviews from back in 2014 (!!)
“Stacye has a gift. She was able to listen to my scattered goals and confused internal dialogue, & helped me to narrow down my focus. I have a much clearer path that I'm traveling now ...��� - Sandra E. Oct. 2014

“Stacye is a caring, sensitive, teacher/art-coach with exquisite sensitivity to the needs of each student. She is a skilled artist, but most significantly, she knows how to nurture and support each student's unique growth in the ways that work for that student. Would highly recommend her without any reservations.” - Rose H. Oct. 24, 2014 

Here are some reviews from just before the pandemic hit and lock-down stopped class dead in its tracks: 
“I’ve been taking Stacye’s class every time it has been offered since September 2014.  I continue to take it because Stacye creates an encouraging, non-judgmental atmosphere where I can create art and grow!  It’s a rare opportunity.”
Rose H.; Feb. 20, 2020

"For me, FYAV …is a voyage of exploration, discovery and finding my own unique way of artistic expression.  Stacye is a magical teacher and the other students create an energy that is both exciting and productive."
Maja K.; Feb. 21, 2020
