Heartfelt Reviews from Our Art Family
Carrying on Bob Ross’s legacy as a Certified Instructor is more than a title—it’s a calling I hold with deep respect and gratitude. As a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Painting Certificate Program, I’ve combined formal training with Bob’s timeless techniques to help others discover the peace and joy of painting. Every time I guide a brush or witness someone’s creative spark, I’m reminded why I do this. Whether you're brand new or rekindling your passion, I’d be honored to welcome you to a workshop soon—let’s create something beautiful together.
