“The art is so mind-blowing! The Academy is the best investment I’ve made as far as me learning. I even signed a contract on one of my first designs which Anne helped me fix in a weekend trouble shooting session. She gives so much of her time."

“Until now, I was never able to grasp Adobe Illustrator. Anne’s approach is the only one that made learning this program easy! I’m now a mixed media collage artist. I could never have imagined a more fulfilling “second half” without Anne’s example and guidance.”
