Our SOBA Instructors are Getting Rave Reviews
“Missy Gentile’s Abstract Art class is incredibly freeing! This class inspired me to think outside the box and divert from the traditional conventions of what we think art is supposed to be.
Missy’s teaching style is encouraging, supportive, and enlightening. She inspires you to reach beyond your comfort zone and not overthink your artwork in order to tap into a different realm of your creativity. This class is pure joy!”

“Mary Ann Ford’s Intermediate Acrylics Class provided a nice balance of practical, and theoretical content as well as helpful coaching while participants painted. Mary Ann demonstrated techniques while creating a painting and answered specific questions from the participants.
She is a very encouraging instructor, is flexible, has a good sense of humor. She sets a fun, relaxed tone for the classroom. Participants with common and individual learning needs and interests can benefit from her teaching and experience.”
