Ancha - The way you honor and cherish our children is such a gift, celebration & inspiration to me. We are so lucky! Children - thank you for your open hearts, minds, and creative hands.

Ben had "such fun" with the artwork, other students and especially the teacher. You have such a gentle, loving and guiding way in the art and heart world. Merci beaucoup!
Love, Sally, Ben, Neil & Mario

The art I see here is just stunning. The silk paintings took my breath away. I'm an unbiased non-participant and I'm very impressed. Let me know when you open a museum.
-Esther Baruch

What a gift to be in the presence of such creative talent and beauty. Congratulations on your 20th anniversary and your ability to manifest a childhood dream.
Love, Elizabeth

It has been a wonderful experience learning to create art projects with Joyful Alternative Art Studio. As adults, I feel we are somewhat less open than children. Ancha has been able to pull away many of the barriers we create over the years of living in our world of reality. She has helped me to get to the essence of the self that can still create & see the beauty in our world & translate that to art. it is very difficult to tap into that essence, but Ancha has helped me to do it via meditation, intuitive work, feelings & trust.

To further research the subject material for specific projects, we have used internet, books and pictures available in Joyful Alternative's well stocked library. Overall, it has been so far a wonderful experience and I have created a gorgeous & meaningful silk painting. I am currently working on another and I am perfectly pleased and appreciative.
